Roy is standing at the back of the café with another racing fanatic, watching one of the televisions. The grand prix in Abu Dhabi has just started a few laps, and there is a lot of philosophizing in Zandvoort about the tire strategy of Verstappen and rival Lando Norris. “Norris and his teammate enter the pits at different times, which gives our Max fewer options.”
Roy is the first to admit that Verstappen’s chances of winning a world title are not great. “It’s a miracle that he still has a chance in the last race. But he not only has to win today for that title, Norris also has to make some mistakes.”
