Verstappen has once again been the driving force behind the team’s successes this season. The Dutchman has achieved consecutive victories on his home turf, but he will be cautious about his prospects this time around.
The Milton Keynes-based team has stated that they will not find a concrete solution to the struggles of the RB20 in time for the Dutch GP. This means that Verstappen will be on his own, relying on his speed to secure points and podium finishes.
