This weekend, the 2026 F1 season arrives at the Austrian Grand Prix. Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen was interviewed after the race and discussed the Dutch national team's prospects in the FIFA World Cup.

Verstappen said, "I watched most of the FIFA World Cup matches before midnight. I don't really watch the late-night games around 2 or 3 AM. The Netherlands team is generally doing okay, but ultimately, it also depends on the opponents we'll face next. I think if we advance in the tournament, it will be somewhat due to luck, but I hope they perform well. There are many strong nations in the world, right? But as a Dutch fan, of course, I hope they go further."

The Netherlands advanced as group winners in the group stage and will face African powerhouse Morocco in the Round of 16.
