🗣️ 'Despite the small track, and despite the old facilities, they brought a new way of having an incredible event'
When the Dutch Grand Prix returned to the Formula 1 calendar after a 36-year absence in 2021, it was not about grand prix racing’s bosses looking to recapture past glories.Instead, what Zandvoort unleashed since its comeback was a vision of F1’s future: of a venue willing to go the extra mile in delivering entertainment and an exciting package for fans that went far beyond just what was happening on track.
Domenicali thinks that Zandvoort captured an experience that was exactly in line with what F1 believes should be the standard for all grand prix venues. However, that they have gone the extra mile to deliver a weekend carnival atmosphere is something that Domenicali appreciates a great deal. The Dutch cycling culture, allied to Zandvoort’s location meaning it would be impossible to get tens of thousands of cars in and out, prompted an extensive public transport initiative that put sustainability at its heart.And it certainly seemed to work. Just three percent of visitors came by car – 43% by public transport, 37% on bikes, 5% walked and 12% were multi-person vehicle pick-ups.
