Verstappen prepares for final chance to equal Zandvoort record

Summary

Max Verstappen will compete in the last Dutch Grand Prix next week at Zandvoort, where he aims to equal the record of four victories held by Jim Clark. Verstappen has won the event three consecutive times from 2021 to 2023 but has not secured a win in the 2026 season so far, marking a significant departure from his typical performances with Red Bull. The race carries additional significance as the circuit will disappear from the Formula 1 calendar after this event. Verstappen's previous successes at Zandvoort make him a strong contender to achieve this historic milestone.
