The Netherlands experienced significant rainfall in various areas
on Monday afternoon and evening, including Zandvoort, home of the
Dutch Grand Prix. A photograph taken at Circuit Zandvoort showed a
stream running across the track, accompanied by considerable
sediment. NH News also reported that a Delft University of
Technology student team was due to test their hydrogen-powered race
car on the circuit Monday night. That test run was cancelled, on
account of the access roads to the circuit being flooded. "Our car
runs on hydrogen, but it can't handle that much water," student
Renzo Bootsma explained with a laugh. "A pity though, because we
were going to do a longer test drive for the first time tonight."
F1 Academy was due to commence the first of two days of testing at
the track at 09:00 local time on Tuesday morning. However, the
start of the first session was pre-emptively delayed by 25 minutes
to allow for additional sweeping, if required, to clear the
circuit. The three-hour session will run until 12:25 local time to
prevent any impact on track time. Check out the picture at Circuit
Zandvoort below. 1947384654874427886 Zandvoort looks in perfect
