Before the Spielberg race
Austria caused disappointment for Verstappen
Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen traveled to Spielberg with great disappointment after the Dutch national team's European Championship defeat against Austria, but apparently without any negative feelings.
"Austria did really, really well. They had a great formation that played really well together, and it's also nice to see that it's not always the team that's better on paper that wins," said the Dutchman on Thursday.
In the last match for both teams in Group D, Austria beat the Netherlands 3-2 in Berlin on Tuesday to win the group. The "Oranje" team finished third in the group and will play Romania in the round of 16. "Of course I was very disappointed that we lost, but at the same time it probably put us on the right side (of the tournament tree; note) because the strongest teams are on the left side," explained Verstappen, who will be looking to extend his World Cup lead this weekend at the Austrian Grand Prix in Styria.
No forecast possible
The 26-year-old did not want to make a prediction for the rest of the tournament. "Honestly, it's impossible to say who will win. Of course I'd like Holland to go very far. But we have to do better," said Verstappen.
