The track at the Dutch Grand Prix is one that requires more downforce, giving Ferrari an edge over Red-Bull, but the team is confident despite the odds being stacked them they can pull through and secure a victory. “There’s a lot more downforce required at the track in Zandvoort so it will be harder for us to be dominant, I expect Ferrari to be strong there”, said Verstappen.
