There is now a very big question that Max Verstappen now faces, can he turn himself around and win 2025 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort? The Dutch superstar crashed in the last race when Lando Norris grabbed commanding win in Woodlands breaking the streak by Verstappen on his home soil.

Red Bull’s 2025 season so far 

The title quest of Red Bull this season has not started that well. Red Bull is a long way off being competitive enough to win, according to Red Bull driver Max Verstappen himself who cited races this year when the team was off the pace during race conditions as being a sign that the team still has much work to do. His latest performance in Hungary was the worst he had had throughout the season which led to him casting doubts on whether or not he will be able to get subsequent wins in 2025. That is with that form, his chances at Zandvoort are not that solid.

Civil war in McLaren?

Eastering the toughness is the close rivalry between McLaren. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri both sit hot on his heels in the championships and McLaren are proving to be the force to reckon with. At least Norris has come out publicly to state that he is up to having an elbows out fight with Verstappen, which will make the upcoming races very interesting.

Nonetheless, the fact that it is possible to find reasons to be optimistic. Verstappen boasts record at Zandvoort. He has swept all the weeks since F1 returned to the Dutch GP last year. Such a strong attachment to the song, as well as to the fans, might prove a crucial psychological resource. But one still wonders whether Red Bull has developed enough upgrades.

Is Home race the place for Max Verstappen to make a comeback?

What seems to be happening is that they are behind, at best playing even, as of this moment, and that McLaren has consistently been doing well over multiple Grand Prix. As Zandvoort will host the Dutch GP on August 29 to 31 2025, the scene is well prepared to host the tussle. Will Verstappen retaliate with home field artillery? Will McLaren continue its form or will it deprive the Dutch champion one more time? The circuit looks forward to the last.
