Internet vergelijkt Van Kalmthout met Verstappen: 'Speciale datum voor Nederland'
Rinus van Kalmthout pakte in Indianapolis op zaterdagavond zijn eerste IndyCar-overwinning van zijn jonge carrière tot nu toe. De Nederlander van Ed Carpenter Racing was op strategie de snelste en kwam uiteindelijk als eerste over de streep, gevolgd door Romain Grosjean. ‘VeeKay’ behaalde zijn overwinning op 15 mei, een datum dat al een mijlpaal was voor de Nederlandse autosport. Op het internet gaat het dan ook daarover.
Cracking result for @RGrosjean with second in only his third IndyCar race, and definitely no shame in losing to a very talented young Dutch driver... Maiden win for @rinusveekay at the age of 20 #IndyCar #IndyGP

Ook aandacht voor Grosjean
Great stuff from Veekay and another new winner for Indycar. Incredible.

But what a weekend for Grosjean. Only his third weekend in the series and could and possibly should have won today. Showing the talent he always had but was often hidden.
Great race. Absolute thriller.
A low-on-fuel @rinusveekay takes a first EVER @IndyCar series victory at @IMS!!!
