Not to mention Jan Lammers ( Zandvoort Track Sporting Director ) mentioned to Ted in his notebook episode that they planned a lot more activities outside the circuit too with huge stands and a lot more artists and you name it. So if they manage to pull that off it's gonna be an even bigger event!

Daniel definitely is the 2nd favourite driver after max over here. The early red bull days and basically just his character are stuff we love to gobble up. We like jokers, we like friendship, and we love daniel.

Ja de nederlandse leeuw en veel snappen ons oranje niet…. Tis niet gewoon een kleur maar onze koningsdom is de rede ……. Maar belangrijkste is dat er trots ziijn op sporters max verdient het🇳🇱🤣🏳️‍🌈

[@rutgerb]

@@midget4581 eigenlijk is de sinaasappel verantwoordelijk voor de kleur, want: het graafschap Orange is ouder dan de kleur oranje. Vroeger was er geen naam voor oranje, dat was geel-rood, dit veranderde toen handelaren uit Arabie de sinaasappel (china appel) introduceerden. De uitspraak van sinaasappel in het Arabisch lijkt op orange en zodoende werd dat niet alleen de naam van de sinaasappel maar ook van de kleur oranje in Europa. Dus eerst was er een kleurloze regio in Frankrijk genaamd Orange. Toen bedachten mensen dat geel-rood ook een kleur was en het naam van dat geel-rode vruchtje kreeg: orange. Willem erfde vervolgens de titel Orange van een oom en de rest van het verhaal is bekend.

In the Netherlands we have the experience that when people go by car to such a location (a small beach village), nobody really gets there. So instead we go by train (luckily enough the village has a train station), by bus, or by bike. It is a beautiful area and also the weather was very nice. Not too hot to walk or bike, just perfect.

There is only one reason: car parks cost money. Source im dutch

[@hipotenuza5663]

6:35 Carlos is with Andrea Stella- racing director in McLaren. He used to be Alonso's race engineer in Ferrari and McLaren.

[@superrdaan]

Hey Kym, im a dutch guy and have just something to add. There was almost no traffic on the road because they had sealed the whole area of zandvoort to keep the cars out. The road to the circuit is not that big and could never handle all the traffic. For example, on a hot summer day there is a traffic jam almost all to way to Haarlem only from people that want to go to the beach. The only cars that were allowed to drive in zandvoort were people that live in zandvoort or suppliers for the track.

[@karloanttila]

I did my part and threw a Max party at my house, away from the track. Thousands showed up! Then I woke up from my dream...

[@Rob2]

You pronounce Verstappen quite well compared to some other English speakers! Now you can also improve the pronounciation of Max and Zandvoort: the A sound in those words is the same as the way you say the A in Verstappen. (and also the A in Grand Prix)

[@rutgerb]

I noticed a lot of foreigners say Vers-tappen instead of Ver-stappen.

[@Rob2]

I think the protection of Max was only for this race. Imagine that you are the central person that triggered the return of the Dutch GP to Zandvoort, attracts 65000 fans (only because that was the maximum number allowed due to Covid, otherwise it would be 100000) and all of them want to see you, talk to you, and expect you to win the race. That is a tremendous amount of pressure and risk of losing focus. So this time he did as little press appearances as possible, no contact with the fans, and just did his thing. What I find incredible is that he pulled it off! Winning your home grand prix is no easy feat, and some race-winning drivers never achieve it. I can fully understand that the circumstances have to be made as good as possible.

[@janesun9008]

Love your video. Please do it after every grand prix you go.

[@astroandyborgloh]

I wanna give a shout-out to the dutch anthem, sung by Davina Michelle. I think, it was amazing.

The lion is for all the low countries, the Leo Belgica. That's why u see it back in Belgium, Luxenburg and the Netherlands (ps. Australia was once called Nova Belgica so i guess it's little yours as well and Danny Ric just got really oldskool ozzy)

Nova Belgica was once where New York is now. The Latin name ‘Nova Belgica’ was used for what was known as Nieuw Nederland. Together with Anglia Nova (Nieuw Engeland), Nova Francia etc. It had nothing do to with what now is Australia.

8:11 Not really, you get tokens for delivering the cans at the drinks stand, with those tokens you can win prices. So my guess is he wanted to increases his changes of winning, almost the entire grandstand was pretty clean because the tokens are also a discount on new drinks.

[@KymIllman]

We can go anywhere we want virtually doing a session, it’s a matter of how much time you want to waste moving around as opposed to shooting.

[@edwardpiously140]

I'd like to add some comments to some topics addressed in this video. Daniël Ricciardo, he is a driver we (the Dutch fans) closed into out hearts, why? Well, obviously because of the bromance he and Max have, but also because he showed a lot of love for.the Dutch fans and let's be fair, he's just an all round likeable guy. Same goes for Lando, I think most of us see him as our talented little brother. We respect Charles Leclerc for being as talented as Max and it's just a shame the Ferrari's can't keep up yet, also, any true race fan knows that Charles and Max have been battling since their karting days. I would like to clear up that people booing Lewis is a very, very, very small percentage of the crowd, think of him what you want, but you can't do anything other than respect a 7 times WDC. Also, although it's been 36 years since the last Dutch GP and after Jos with Max we have an GP winner to cheer on, do not make the mistake of thinking we are new to F1, F1 has been broadcasted here on television since the 70's and non stop every raceweekend since the early 90's, ever since it's been, I believe, toggling between the 2nd and 3th most watched sport in The Netherlands, football being nr 1 obviously. Well, if anyone has a serious and normal question for me and I have the answer to it, feel free to ask. Kind regards, a dutchie

Picking up the cans is for money! They are worth money for recycling. I did that back in the 80s as well to get money while not having a clue what was going on at track :-)

[@SkydiveToma]

On the DutchGP you get a discount for returning your cup/cans. Example; a beer cost 5 euro, with you returning your cup the beer costs 4 euro. If you only returning your cup without buying someting, you get a coin for the discount the next time you want to buy a drink, you then have to give the coin while paying. So you never get money for it. But IT worked very well, i never seen an event so clean for 3 days long👌🏽
