The images from last weekend in Zandvoort were impressive, the drivers were praising and even the team owners couldn't stop talking about what they saw at the Dutch Grand Prix. The atmosphere was fantastic and there was no other colour than orange in the stands.

Toto Wolff said after the race that Zandvoort set a new benchmark for other circuits. The Austrian claims that other circuits will now look at how they can match or even improve on last weekend's event at Zandvoort.

Zandvoort sets new benchmark for F1

Is this true? Circuits like Monza, especially when Ferrari performs well, and Mexico probably come close. But indeed: these were scenes that are quite new to Formula 1. The question is: is this now a point of reference for other circuits. Are circuits going to try to match or improve on what Zandvoort has achieved?

If it is up to the drivers and team owners they will. They spoke highly of the fans and the organization. But what do you think?
