Ezt a helyszínt látná legszívesebben ismét a Forma-1-ben Günther Steiner
Az upcoming weekend, Zandvoort will turn orange as Max Verstappen’s home race takes place in Formula 1. The 25-year-old driver is heading towards his third world championship title and his 11th race victory this year. So far, he has been beaten only twice, both times by his teammate Sergio Perez, who hasn’t been able to catch up with the Dutchman since the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in April. It is not surprising that Netherlands demanded to be back on the race calendar after 1985, and it seems that the championship doesn’t regret readmitting them as they are expecting a full house again this weekend. Günther Steiner, the team principal of Haas, is not surprised by this: „Considering how popular Formula 1 is nowadays, I think we could race anywhere and have a full house. Of course, there are contracts that the management of Formula 1 takes care of.” However, Steiner believes that there is a major flaw in the race calendar: „I think it would be good to have a race in Germany. It is a large car country, there is a German driver in the field, and Germany has deep roots in the history of Formula 1. The market here is currently decreasing, while it is growing elsewhere. A race would improve this and give millions of fans the opportunity to attend.” So far, 64 races have been held in Germany, but they were excluded in 2019 despite having many Formula 1 drivers coming from there, such as Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher, as well as the multiple world champion Mercedes. They couldn’t gather enough support to hold the event. According to Steiner, Denmark could also accommodate a race, much to the delight of Kevin Magnussen: „Denmark also has a great Formula 1 history, Kevin is here now, and there was a plan for a race in Copenhagen, which would be a fantastic city, and I think they would be ready. However, the politicians didn’t agree, so it won’t happen for now.” Toto Wolff, the team principal of Mercedes, believes that a rule in Formula 1 should be reconsidered. Is this a big chance? „The Haas drivers can prove themselves ‘almost’ on home turf.”
