2021 - Race 13 Dutch Grand Prix (Zandvoort)
This will be a redo of the start to the 2nd half of the season. Let see if it goes any better than it did last weekend.
Never seen a race here, so I know nothing of what to expect.

Same. I am curious if the weather is as bad here as at Spa.

Wouldn't that be wild if it was a 2 lap race due to fog...

....with Mazepin, Giovinazzi, and Latifi on the podium because they were the only ones to get a banker lap in before the fog made the track too wet in Q3.
I've already been robbed of my favorite race on the calendar..... I might be missing from the forums for a while if that happened!
I just hope we get a legit race, and I hope I'm wrong but I'm expecting that it will really be decided in qually for the most part. It doesn't look like there is much for passing opportunities, but I hope to be proven wrong. Strategy races and the under/overcuts add some interest, but without some action on track they get boring IMHO.

This track really looks like aweful IMO.
I'm not sure how F1 cars would go around here, et alone race each other,
At best it is a motogp track, but then again with the banking etc. it would be too dangerous for the bikes.
I expect a boring race.
The F1 demo lap with the GT car looked terrible.
A lot of slow corners, squirt and break and only a short straight that at the end doesn't provide for a proper overtake opportunity.
We shall see, but I'm not optimisticyou can't argue with results.

Zandvoort is typically very windy, being literally on the beach. Hence it would be very cool which may suit both Mercedes and Redbull. But the wind may be where differences in performance may show from. Also being a twisty track, it most likely would suit the Redbull better than the Mercedes. This is one track where l think Mclaren may be able to spring a surprise win. I think Norris would go well here.

This explains the wins by Max....

Lewis is a closet fan and gets conflicted during some races.
I guess we will find out soon, but I sure hope this track has some passing opportunities that aren't obvious from looking at the layout.
Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
