Championship leader Lewis Hamilton will face the staunch opposition of local hero Max Verstappen this weekend at Zandvoort.

But the Mercedes driver will also likely need to contend with the jeering presence of the Red Bull driver's 'orange army'.

However, in a bold act of defiance of his arch-rival's allies, Hamilton rolled into town on Thursday draped in Dutch orange.

The audacious fashion certainly turned a few heads and was a clear warning by the Briton that, for this weekend at least, black is the new orange!
