In an interview with De Telegraaf, the director of the Zandvoort circuit, Robert van Overdijk, admitted that the decision to extend the contract with Formula 1 until 2025 was not an easy one, mainly for financial reasons…
Robert van Overdijk: “Of course we are very happy that everything worked out in the end, but the decision was not easy. Rising costs and economic uncertainty are a major problem.”
The team leader of the Dutch Grand Prix, Jan Lammers, confirmed the difficulties. Not only do we get no help, but we also have to pay the municipal ‘entertainment tax’. It seems that the municipality wants to profit from our success. I hope they change their mind.”
