Surely an Orange party in Zandvoort? 'Corona measures then limited'

The Dutch Grand Prix is back on the Formula 1 calendar, but not in the period planned for 2020 in 2021. The race at the circuit of Zandvoort was in September.

The Dutch Grand Prix was originally scheduled to return to the Formula 1 calendar in May 2020 for the first time in 35 years, but the coronavirus threw a spanner in the works. The Grand Prix could not go ahead. For 2021 the race in Zandvoort is on the programme again, but it has been postponed to the back of the season.

An Orange party in Zandvoort, right?

''Organiser of the Dutch Grand Prix and CM.com Circuit Zandvoort were ready for the first edition of the F1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix in 2020. Both parties are happy with the new date of 3-5 September 2021 and are looking forward to the festive return of Formula 1 with all racing fans and the millions of viewers around the world'', says Zandvoort in a press release.

''The return of F1 to the Netherlands has of course been made possible by healthy entrepreneurial initiative but above all by the massive interest of the many racing fans in our country. This new date just after the summer has the advantage that the peak of the summer holidays is over, the weather is likely to be good and the corona measures are then more limited. This is therefore a great date for Zandvoort and the entire region. In other words, the organisation is very positive and is preparing to hold a major public event on this date'', concludes Jan Lammers.
