Max Verstappen first onboard lap on Zandvoort today

Illegal practice Maxie boy banned from the GP

 

Finally, an engine that sounds right..........

 

Can't tell much from in car about banking?

 

Circuit looks great .Let's hope the race goes ahead ,with or without the orange army.

 

Omg the sound...

 

**Warning for headphone users**

 

It´s cool, but it looks that overtaking still will be difficult despite the banking.

 

Exactly my thought. According to F1 surveys, people are most looking forward to that GP. But I think many of them will e disappointed - I anticipate Zandvoort being the most boring race (besides Monaco, of course) of the year, unless anything unforeseen (weather conditions) happens.

 

I don't think there will be much passing but the track looks fast.

 

Yeah, Zandvoort looks to be a procession race.

 

This is by design. They want it to match all the other races.

 

Lol....yes.

 

Revisions look beautiful...

I'm still surprised these banked corners were "allowed" to happen given the silly postive camber limits traditionally imposed on new FIA grade 1 circuits.

Anyway, I'd take a procession at a great track over DRS fest on an overly-wide Tilke playmat circuit any day of the week.
Fix the cars, not the tracks!

 

Remove all the aero and watch what would happen!!

 

Any collision between cars or car to wall on most of this very narrow track and wall to wall width will result in an actual red flag as the car and its shrapnel will inevitably bounce back on track. It makes Suzuka look like Paul Ricard in terms of width between walls.
Hopefully there will be some great duels AND passes, some smart drivers will figure out clever two stage passes: position on the outside, crowd the other driver until the next turn in the other direction etc...

 

The banking lasts short enough that excess G-Forces will not cause driver blackouts.

 

From the Verstappen footage, the track looks narrower than I remember it when I drove there.
I don't think overtaking will be easy for F1 cars.

 

I agree. Wide cars and short narrow track. Body part stock must be increased lol

 

Leave it to Honda. Awesome!

 

No turbo and No halo

 

Did they raise the revs? They sure didn't sound good when I was at Monza 2016!

 

Oh, must be older F1 engine? When they sounded like REAL racing cars!

 

It was the 2012-spec RB8 with a refresh livery.
