The 26-year-old Red Bull driver, who currently has a 78-point lead over McLaren’s Lando Norris in the drivers’ championship, is chasing his fourth consecutive title.
He remains the heavy favourite to defend his crown but Verstappen hasn’t won since the Spanish Grand Prix – his longest winless streak since 2020.
And ahead of this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix, Verstappen appeared off the pace at Circuit Zandvoort, his home track.
In fact, nearest rival Lando Norris became the first person to beat Verstappen to pole position at the DGP after beating him by 0.356 seconds.
In the aftermath of Saturday’s final practice session, one of the biggest talking points has been the FIA’s decision to hand Verstappen a warning.

F1 journalist Chris Medland confirmed the news, saying: “Verstappen picks up a warning from race control for crossing the white line at the pit exit.”
He added: “Keen to get going, he overtook Piastri on the inside of the pit exit and then Russell on the outside but crossed the line to do so.”
As you can see from the footage below, the Dutchman forced his way through the pitlane to speed things up but crossed the white line at the pit exit; something that is prohibited.
The official rules state: “There will be a green light and a red light (or similar signs) at the pit lane exit. Cars may only leave the pit lane when the green light is on (or sign is displayed).”
