First fans are on the circuit. It is a beautiful weather with lots of sunshine, no clouds!

“Drive up rental prices”, how does that work- because last time I checked we live in a world dominated by supply and demand.
What does booking.com has to do with Bernhard Jr.?Especially with Expats flocking to Amsterdam to work for companies like Booking.com and the expats pay any price, but as soon as Corona started Booking.com was one of the first companies to ask for state support.
You can’t often repair something immediately, that is broken- something a lot of tenants do not understand, but house owners do.And there have been complaints about the places he rents out things not getting fixed and all.
Jealousy driven- a lot of people do have the ‘spending power’ to afford an apartment in Amsterdam- as proven by the number of transactions.Been going on for awhile that there is even talk about a Bernhard Tax to make sure when you own a property you actually have to live in it to stop these investors just buying up houses to live in.
This being a Formula 1 website- I honestly do not understand the fuss? Be thankful someone stook out his neck, in order to arrange for a Dutch GP.On the other hand Zandvoort has been falling in decay over the years so part of having the GP there is also sort of having the Olympics in East London so to invest back into the community. They do have a better rail connection and such which is government funded, but because of the GP

Jarno Zaffelli, owner of the Dromo track design firm, says that the layout is deliberately designed to disorientate drivers, and that the best will be able to find their way past other cars.
It has been suggested that this will reduce overtaking, but Zaffelli said that the short, tight circuit offered more opportunities than it might seem.
"This track is not about overtaking with DRS. That's for other kinds of circuits with long straights," he said.
"Here, it is about big bollocks. In the end, this is racing.
"Everybody remembers Senna for how he drove over the limit -- counter-steering at 300km/h (186mph).
"Now it's very difficult for drivers to do that for a lot of reasons in the modern era. But on this track, at some point, they have to do it otherwise they will go slow.
"There are multiple lines through several corners and that is why we expect there will be overtaking opportunities."
"Even if they did hundreds of laps in the simulators... it's like downhill skiing: you watch it on television and think, 'OK, not bad', but if you go yourself, it's something different.
"Zandvoort is all about the perception of the driver. It's all about what the driver is feeling and looking at because he's not used to these geometries, he's not used to these inclinations. He's not used to the curves."
The kerbs have even been painted with rectangles of differing sizes to alter drivers' perception of speed.
"Our philosophy behind it is to try and cheat the driver's perceptions," said Zaffelli. "So it's all about using the nature, using the shapes, using the geometries that we have coupled with a specific asphalt, specific techniques, all these kinds of things to put something together that is unique.
"This opens up a concept where human behaviour is at the centre. These are the best drivers in the world probably, we absolutely need to challenge them.
"We need to get back this human feeling. Just a bit like in motorcycling where the man is more important than the machine. Here we are trying to see the difference between boy and man."
