Zandvoort handed bizarre ‘supermarket’ comparison: ‘There’s just no space’
Alex Albon made a peculiar comparison, likening Zandvoort, the Dutch Grand Prix venue, to a “supermarket” due to its tight layout.
Zandvoort will host the Dutch GP as its penultimate event before dropping off the F1 calendar in 2026, receiving a Sprint weekend in 2022 as a token of appreciation.
While the track is narrow and difficult for overtaking, it has delivered exciting races in recent times, earning praise from drivers.
Albon expressed his fondness for Zandvoort despite its challenges, calling it a track where F1 cars shouldn’t race but appreciating the opportunity.
The circuit’s limited space and adverse weather conditions, including strong winds from the nearby sea, add to the unique and demanding nature of racing at Zandvoort.
Despite its quirks, Albon noted that Williams, his team, strangely enjoys the track, highlighting the unpredictability and excitement it brings to Formula 1 racing.
