Red Bull star Max Verstappen is gearing up for a return of the Dutch Grand Prix on the F1 calendar and uploaded a funny Jumbo ad on his Instagram account.
The 22-year-old finished third in the previous season but the return of the Dutch Grand Prix has gotten several fans excited from the nation.
Verstappen has a huge following in F1 and thousands of Dutch fans flock to Austria and Belgium to support him.
However, the Dutch Grand Prix returns to the F1 calendar for the first time since 1985, and Verstappen would be looking to win his home race.
The ad sees a neighbour pester Verstappen throughout before he finally gets tickets for the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix.
The Red Bull star added that he had fun doing the Jumbo commercial and fans have the chance to meet the Dutch racer during the weekend.
This would be a great chance to catch-up with the star but the Dutch race director has claimed that Verstappen will be allowed to concentrate on the weekend to help his chances.
The 22-year-old is one of the hottest properties on F1 and has several sponsors after his exploits on the circuit.
Dutch supermarket giant Jumbo is one of his biggest sponsors and the 22-year-old has featured in several of their ads.
The 22-year-old also has ties with Red Bull, Ziggo, Exact and Tag Heuer, amongst other brands.
Verstappen also recently signed a new deal with Red Bull and is committed to the team till 2023.
That is a vote of confidence not only to the team but also the Honda engine suppliers as the Japanese have struggled to match the pace of the Ferraris and Mercedes cars since returning to the sport.
