Dutch GP could return as F1 looks to capitalise on 'Max factor'

Formula One is hoping to bring back the Dutch Grand Prix and build on the wave of popularity surrounding Red Bull's Max Verstappen.

"We are very interested in racing in Holland," Sean Bratches, the sport's commercial managing director, told Reuters when asked about a possible return to the Zandvoort circuit that hosted 30 races from 1952 to 1985.

"We are having productive conversations there and I am cautiously optimistic we can do something to surprise and delight fans in that territory and take advantage of the Max factor," he added.

Local media reports have suggested a deal for 2020 could be on the table.
