Zandvoort

[Wouter]

Max Verstappen is the first F1 driver to fly through the Arie Luyendijk turn on Zandvoort in the RB8.

[Just_a_fan]

Are other teams allowed/scheduled to run a car around the track or is it just Dutch drivers?

And... mythic 30% curve... done like a piece of cake, even in F1 car with a lot of less downforce than they have nowdays.

Looks like 2 legit overtaking areas ("legit"...not easy). 3 if we allow for some wonky fuel flow metering antics.

Looking at that lap I cannot find a spot where drivers can overtake other than ones based on DRS and engine power. Most are high speeds to medium speeds, basically impossible to follow another in those mid speed corners....

sorry, in Dutch but in the included video you can see quite good how the RB8 is going around.

All that fuss over the banked corner, what the hell is that rubbish....

Plus it used to be an exciting corner... now it’s just easy flat out... aka boring.

You think the banked last corner looks mega, looks like one of the easiest corners on the circuit.....

Dutch only.

no, the whole circuit looks mega. Apologies should have been clearer.

Qualifying should be immense

So basically Monza's Parabolica curve except this time you can actually slingshot in the slip stream.

Yeah it is like Monaco in the dunes. It is pretty intense track, so race could still be exciting.
