Hearing the Dutch national anthem on a Sunday after a Grand Prix has almost become standard practice. Last Sunday may not have been a race, but the Dutch national team was playing a game in the European Championship. Formula 1 fans shared online their experiences of hearing the national anthem.

The Dutch team played its first match in the European Championship on Sunday. The team won 2-1 against Poland. Before international matches, the national anthems of both teams can always be heard. So too is the national anthem.

On social media, Formula 1 fans reacted to hearing the Dutch national anthem. For instance, fans hoped to get a break from the song for a Sunday, but still heard it. In addition, it also sounded crazy to some not to hear Austria's national anthem immediately after the national anthem.
