Liverpool’s Van Dijk excited for F1’s final race of the season
Liverpool claimed a win over Aston Villa on Saturday and Van Dijk is now turning his attention to F1’s dramatic final showdown.
Van Dijk tweeted to seemingly put his support behind Verstappen, which is no surprise.
Verstappen has a Belgian mother and a Dutch father, considering himself more Dutch despite being born in Belgium.
Dutchman Van Dijk unsurprisingly wants Verstappen to win, even he wants the best man to come out on top.
Liverpool ace Van Dijk added it’s been ‘one hell of a season’ in F1, which many will agree with as Verstappen and Hamilton fight it out one more time.
