Max Verstappen is still Formula One's top driver and still wins. He just doesn't win all the time anymore. And he's not Sunday's betting favorite.

The trial is expected to last between four and six weeks, according to Judge Max Wiley. Penny, 25, has pleaded not guilty to the charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in connection with Jordan Neely's death.

The victory boosted Verstappen’s confidence in the car since he has not won any of the last nine F1 races – eight grands prix and one sprint.
