To mark the occasion, Verstappen revealed a new helmet design that he will be wearing while racing around the track later this month.

“Hi everyone, as you can see, Dutch flag [on the table], probably means something related to Zandvoort," he said in a video published on social media. "We are having a new helmet again. You can see, it’s pretty Dutch, surprise!

“So this time we’re going more with the [Dutch] flag. So of course on the top we have the full flag within the lion logo.

“But then of course on the side, one side is blue the other side is red – and of course you can see it all comes together at the back."
