What we have seen in Zandvoort over the last couple of days, we don't see at any other Grand Prix, unless of course a large number of Dutch people have travelled along. The national pride that this race radiates is unprecedented and the organisation of the party likes to add to that.

For that purpose some of the employees had got up early. When the journalists arrived at the circuit this morning they finished the construction of an enormous Dutch flag on the main stand. On every seat there is now a small flag for the fans to wave, 37000 in total.

Impressive sight at Zandvoort on race morning, all grandstand seats filled with patriotic red, white and blue flags...: pic.twitter.com/SI6RrTlNFv
