Dafne Schippers and Tom Dumoulin, with just two competitors of Max Verstappen for the title Sportpersoonlijkheid of the Year. However, it is the 18-year-old driver who, ultimately, the honorary title, the wait is dragging. The NPS is also enthusiastic about Verstappen:

“The rapid conversion from one language to the other, the candidness, the convenience and the authenticity for the camera, and the willingness to for the sake of the media is called the needle into the race and are inhaalacties to comment on, are the characteristics of a young world star who understands that sport is not only a question of performance, but also to present to you!”

Rightly, of course, because despite his young age, knew Max, not only on the job to impress, before and after the contest behaved Max is extremely mature and professional. Incidentally, I must admit that Dafne and Tom do that, especially that last me the summer is still a good one delivers.
