Max Verstappen reckons the revamped Zandvoort circuit will be “even better” to drive in current Formula 1 machinery when the re🌳turning Dutch Grand Prix is finally held. 

The Dutch Grand Prix was꧑ due to re🅠turn to the F1 calendar for the first time in 35 years this weekend at Zandvoort but the ongoing coronavirus pandemic forced the race’s postponement.

Verstappen became the first driver to lap the re-profiled trac𓃲k i👍n an F1 car when he drove Red Bull’s 2012 title-winning RB8 around the track back in March. 

Following his first taste of the circuit in a grand prix car, ⛦Verstappen൲ said he was excited to try it out in the latest F1 machinery.

“I think Turn 3 an🐻d the last corner, they look pretty impressive when you are going through the corner so it looks very nice and I think they did a really good job in renovating the track,” he said. 

“It was a lot of fun to drive already with the V8 car, so I think with these cars it w💟ill be ꦉeven better.”

Asked if he has any concerns🔜 about overtaไking given the narrow nature of the circuit, Verstappen replied: “Yeah but it’s the same as Monaco isn’t it? 

“Or when you go to Sℱuzuka it’s very old school and not very wide. I don𓆏’t think that is a problem. I actually quite like it. 

“It’s better than having tarmac 🙈everywhere and when you 𓃲make a mistake you can just run wide. It’s just going to depend a bit on whether you can overtake and stuff.” 

The Dutch🐷man believes the two banked corners will provide a big challenge and says he would not be surprised to see drivers using different lines through the banking. 

“I have always found it a super circuit to drive, but the banking definitely adds a new dimensi🍎on to it,” Verstappen exp💞lained. 

“I think you can drive different lines through those banked corners,𒆙 so that's a good thing. It has to ඣdo with the tyres as well.

“On new tyres you can take a shorter line. But on older tyres, you have to make sure you have a good exit, so you might have to stay a bi🦩✤t higher in that final corner.”
