F1 was meant to return to the Netherlands for the first time since 1985 in 2020, but it had to be canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But this year the Dutch Grand Prix organizers have confirmed that the race will take place as planned with a limited amount of fans in the circuit.
It’s an enormous boost for Max Verstappen as the race will take place in his backyard and one can surely expect an electrifying atmosphere from the Orange Army at the Zandvoort circuit.
The Dutch Grand Prix is scheduled as the second leg of the upcoming triple-header and the Dutch fans have already started to make the hype of the race. As the speed limit at Zandvoort has been changed from 30 KMPH to 33 KMPH, matching the number of their local hero, Max Verstappen.
