Runner-up at Zandvoort
Verstappen finished second in the Dutch Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Circuit Zandvoort on Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The Red Bull Racing star would get a tremendous start at the lights out and propel past Lando Norris in turn 3 of the opening lap to secure P2. However, Verstappen would surrender that spot back on lap 9 as his soft tyres began to degrade compared to the mediums most everyone else started the grand prix on. He would entrench himself in P3 the rest of the way until disaster would strike Norris on lap 64 with a power unit failure. Verstappen would move into second-place and finish there at the checkered flag for his sixth podium of the season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After an overall dominant performance last season, Verstappen is expecting a repeat in 2023 after coming away with a Formula One record of 15 wins in a season and the undisputed title of World Champion. The RB18 proved to be no match for the rest of the grid as Verstappen repeatedly battled his way through the pack to finish first a whopping 65% of the time, earning 454 championship points by the conclusion of Abu Dhabi. The driver of the No. 1 Red Bull found no consistent competition with any of the other constructors and kept a firm grip on the championship standings following his only 2 DNFs of the season at Bahrain and Melbourne. Verstappen is truly the man to beat going into the 2023 season; drivers without a consistently reliable vehicle and discipline behind the wheel will find him an insurmountable opponent on track, unless Team Red Bull finds themselves facing a new, unforeseen challenge with the car this year.
