ZANDVOORT, Netherlands : Dutch Grand Prix organisers said they were confident their race would remain part of Formula One in the years to come, as the 'Orange Army' of Max Verstappen fans filled the stands early on Sunday in anticipation of another win for the local hero.
But the meteoric rise of Verstappen, the youngest ever Grand Prix winner and first Dutch world champion, helped secured the funds to completely renew the tracks at Zandvoort, which is now a 4.25km swerving lap marked by two banked curves that has quickly become a race drivers' favourite. "Other tracks might offer more financially," Lammers said."But the value they add to Formula One is questionable. We offer so much value in terms of sustainability, smart mobility and entertainment."
Organisers in November will decide if they have the means to take on that option, which will largely depend on the willingness of local corporate sponsors to stay on as the race is organised without any government support.
