From 2020, Dutch Grand Prix would come back to the Zandvoort seaside for a third season after a gap of 35 years. This news was announced by Formula One on Tuesday and this race will be attended by Red Bulls Max Verstappen who has a huge fan following. Also, he is one of the most successful and youngest race winners of Formula One.
The title sponsor of the Dutch F1 Grand Prix will be beer giant Heineken and hosting agreement has been signed with TIG sports, Circuit Zandvoort and Sporty vibes. Chase Carey, the chairman of Formula One said, From the beginning of our tenure in Formula One, we said we wanted to race in new venues, while also respecting the sports historic roots in Europe. Next season, therefore, we will have a brand new street race that will be held in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, as well as the return to Zandvoort, after an absence of 35 years. Weve seen a resurgence of interest in Formula One in Holland, mainly due to the enthusiastic support for the talented Max Verstappen, as seen from the sea of orange at so many races.
After finishing 3rd in the Spanish Grand Prix, Verstappen is the 3rd in the overall championship with a number of supporters. The Dutch F1 Grand Prix is added to the 2020 F1 Calendar. Verstappen has been ranked as the 3rd in this championship just after finishing Spanish Grand Prix. The Dutch Grand Prix will be the part of the Formula One Championship for the 31st time. The late British world champion Jim Clark won there a record four times. In 1985, last Dutch Grand Prix was there. In the words of Red Bull Boss Christian Horner, I think a Dutch Grand Prix, with the popularity of Verstappen, is going to be immense. I think thats positive for Formula One.
The race deal is the second after Vietnam and it has been negotiated by the US Liberty Media after taking over in sports in the year 2017. In the year 2018, the French Grand Prix at the southern Le Castellet circuit has returned after ten years of absence and this deal was confirmed Celestine. The Dutch Grand Prix would bring an amazing excitement for the Formula One fan. Zandvoort is situated near Amsterdam city and it is the major resort on the beach. The Zandvoort has a great history for Formula 1 Venue and in the coming months, the facilities will get rebuilt with the help of Zandvoort council and other partners. The infrastructure and track will be modified to meet all the standards which are laid out by the FIA to host the famous Formula 1 World Championship.

When the race in 2020 will take place, it would be on the 31st rank as the Dutch Grand Prix to be counted as the World championship round. It was held in 1952 at first and it was won by Alberto Ascari who drove a Ferrari. Later on, he also went to win the Formula One World Championship. There were around 19 winners among which 12 were the world champions. Jim Clark has got the outright record with a total of four wins on his name. The last Dutch Grand Prix was held in 1985 and now it will be held in the year 2020.
According to Jean Todt, I am pleased to see that Zandvoort will be part of the proposed calendar for the 2020 FIA Formula One World Championship, and thankful for the hard work of Formula 1 to bring the sport back to the Netherlands. It is a circuit with a long and impressive history of competition and is a great challenge for drivers, and with the popularity of Max Verstappen, Im sure there will be a huge number of fans in attendance. There is now a lot of preparation needed to bring the circuit up to the required safety standards to host a Formula 1 race, and we will work towards this together with Formula 1, KNAF the Dutch ASN and the circuit organization. So, Grand Prix Return is going to bring a lot of excitement and joy for the Formula One fan.
What will be calendar 2020 Racing tournaments like?The F1s schedule will be having 21 races, but there are doubts about Dutch F1 Grand Prix heading into next season. The British GP will be among 5 races which are not in the 2020 contract, but Silverstone is forced to deny for the reports this month. The circuit chefs are already optimistic about the agreement which will be signed.
