The Dutch Grand Prix was a great success last season. The organization, however, is keen to raise the level even further in the coming racing year, counting on more visitors, among other things.

Due to the corona measures, the organization of the Dutch GP in 2021 was not yet allowed to admit all fans. In September of the current calendar year, however, this does seem to be the case, so the organization is preparing for more visitors. " There will be 30,000 to 35,000 extra people," says Zandvoort director Robert van Overdijk to the NOS. "That's over 105,000 people a day."

Where Verstappen managed to grab the victory last season, the Dutch GP will have to wait and see if the Dutchman can do it again. Nevertheless, the organization is confident that it will have another great weekend. "Of course Max is a huge driver in that. If you see what kind of enthusiasm is already here again in the paddock."

Teams open this weekend in Bahrain

This coming weekend the first GP is on the program. The drivers will then appear at the start in Bahrain to battle it out with the competition. For now, Ferrari and Red Bull Racing seem to have the best papers for victory.
