In Belgium, there was no real Grand Prix to speak of, but fortunately, the aftermath is overshadowed by the new racing week that started right after: just a few days to go before the
Dutch Grand Prix. Every day we make an overview of messages, pictures and other things that stood out in
Zandvoort.
Davina Michelle practices the Dutch national anthem
Prior to the Grand Prix of the Netherlands, the honour falls to Davina Michelle to sing the Dutch national anthem. Today she rehearsed the national anthem, probably as a soundcheck as all kinds of systems were tested simultaneously, including the start lights and electronic screens.
Verstappen shows fan what Dutch flag looks like
Admittedly, this picture is not from today, but it is still a funny moment at
Circuit Zandvoort. During the fan event where
Red Bull Racing was present on the circuit (for the attentive reader still accompanied by
Daniel Ricciardo at the time
), a fan wanted a Dutch flag signed by Verstappen. However, she put the colors in the wrong order and thus presented him with a Russian flag.
Max Verstappen was happy to show the fan on his phone what the Dutch flag actually looks like.
