Sad news incoming for F1 fans (especially Dutch ones). The Dutch Grand Prix has officially been canceled for the 2020 season. The Dutch Grand Prix was originally scheduled for the 3rd of May until the F1 season was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The official Twitter account of the Dutch Grand Prix posted a small video as conciliation for the fans. It included a clip of Daniel Ricciardo offering some kind words.
The FIA announced that the start of the season would be scheduled to commence on the 5th of July with the Austrian Grand Prix. This gave Dutch fans some renewed hope. The hope that it was still possible to have a full race calendar and more importantly a Dutch Grand Prix. The reason it is such a huge blow for Dutch fans is that this was going to be the first GP at the Zandvoort circuit since 1985!
Daniel Ricciardo has a conciliatory message for fans

The official twitter account of the Dutch Grand Prix also stated that the tickets that were purchased for this year’s Grand Prix will remain valid for next year.
It looks like fans will have to agonizingly wait for another year to see the cars at the Zandvoort circuit. However, on the bright side, we’ll still have plenty of F1 action to look forward to. As for Ricciardo, he will want to concentrate on leaving Renault on a high. Perhaps with the title of ‘the best of the rest.’
