A New Angle on Zandvoort?
So, you think you’ve seen every twist and turn of Zandvoort, eh? Think those orange-clad fans are the wildest thing about the Dutch GP? Think again, my friend!
This year, F1’s decided to spice things up, and no, I’m not talking about stroopwafels in the cockpit (though, wouldn’t that be delicious?). They’re introducing a new camera angle, and it’s tilted. Like, literally tilted.

Dutch GP: Hold My Hagelslag, Why?
I know what you’re thinking – why mess with a good thing? Well, imagine this: Max Verstappen, flying through Turn 3, the camera leaning precariously as if it’s about to slide off the track with him. It’s all about giving us viewers at home that extra jolt of excitement, that feeling of whoa, I’m right there in the action!.
Plus, let’s be honest, haven’t we all, at some point, tilted our heads sideways trying to get a better view of a particularly tricky corner on TV? This just takes that impulse to a whole new level.
Will it be disorienting? Maybe a little. Will it be awesome? Most likely. One thing’s for sure, it’s just another reason why Zandvoort is shaping up to be the most entertaining race on the calendar. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to practice my best Dutch tilt in front of the mirror.
