The Goodwood Festival of Speed and Wimbledon both came to a close on Sunday, as the attention now turns to Berlin and the small matter of England vs Spain in the final of the Euros.

George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris will all be cheering on the Three Lions, while Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso will no doubt be hoping that La Roja will get the better of Gareth Southgate's side.

Verstappen's beloved Netherlands succumbed to a last-minute defeat against England in the semi-finals, but the Dutchman believes that Spain will avenge his home nation on Sunday night.

"I will watch," he told The Athletic when asked about the final. "I do think Spain is going to win, but you never know in football, everything can happen.

"I think if you look at the tournament so far, they have definitely been the best."

Turning his attention to the semi-final defeat against England, Verstappen was gracious in defeat, admitting that the best team won on the night.

"Naturally I would always want Holland to win, but I think England was the better team," he admitted. "For me, I was of course disappointed. But on the other hand, you also have to be realistic. England definitely deserved to win that game."
