Formula One driver Max Verstappen said he was positively surprised by the fully renovated Zandvoort circuit, which is set to host the first Dutch Formula One Grand Prix in 35 years
ZANDVOORT - Dutch driver Max Verstappen said he was positively surprised by the new Zandvoort circuit after he tested it out on Wednesday, two months before it hosts the first Dutch Formula One Grand Prix in 35 years.
“I really enjoyed it out there,” Verstappen said after he had driven his first laps in a Formula One car, a 2012 Red Bull, on the fully renovated circuit.As the youngest Grand Prix winner and first Dutchman ever to triumph, Verstappen has attracted tens of thousands orange-clad fans to races in Belgium and Austria and helped Zandvoort sell out its 300,000 tickets months ago.
Its most prominent new features are two banked curves, which Verstappen said give the track a unique feel. “The last corner as well is pretty banked. When we enter with the new cars and the DRS open, I think it will be a good challenge and a lot of fun.”
