I think it will be exciting Sunday," Jos Verstappen told RACER. Max's father is impressed by the performance of 'Veekay'. "With his (limited) experience, I must say he did a very good job in qualifying."

A lot of attention for Veekay in the Netherlands

After Max Verstappen, Van Kalmthout receives the most media attention in the Netherlands. "He gets a lot of attention here," the former Formula 1 driver continues his story. "He’s in the newspaper, he’s on television, because I think in Holland, racing is growing (in popularity). We have a lot of media attention. And man, I think he gets a lot of attention.”

Jos Verstappen is going to turn on the television. "I'm definitely going to watch him," he concludes.
