Sebastian Vettel will have no hard feelings if Max Verstappen equals on Sunday the retired German's decade-old Formula One record of nine wins in a row.
Verstappen will start his home Dutch Grand Prix on pole position and clear favourite to win at Zandvoort for the third year in succession.
The runaway championship leader told reporters after qualifying that four times world champion Vettel had texted him a message of encouragement. "But you know, I was like, ‘that's nine wins in a row, it’s something very impressive’ and I never thought I will be able to be already on eight. "Max was too quick again for us today but I gave it a good shot," said Norris, who has yet to stand on top of the Formula One podium.
