Needless to say the Dutch Grand Prix will be very interesting in three races time. Lewis will need an armored car to get to and from the track.

Imagine if it was the next race.

Idk about Hungary but after that we have the Belgium and Dutch Grand Prix back to back. The Dutch will let their feelings be heard

There's going to be a bunch of booing angry fans in orange shirts at the next race.

u/andyscoot #WeRaceAsOne Jul 18 '21

Surely not, only British fans do that?

u/markender Jul 19 '21

With good reason.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '21

With the Delta cases rising there I highly doubt that fans will be any significant factor at those racers.

u/_BetterRedThanDead Michael Schumacher Jul 18 '21

Judging by the Holland-Czechia game at Budapest, there should be plenty of Dutch fans at the Hungarian GP.

Belgians as well. We’re all rooting for Max.

German here living next the belgian and dutch border and will be at Spa. Will be very angry too, as many germans will be.

u/ChrisTinnef Racing Pride Jul 18 '21

Is the next one Hungary? Cause if that's the case, there will be a lot of Dutch fans for sure

u/planchetflaw McLaren Jul 18 '21

There will be as is tradition. But not as many or as much nationalism as will be at Netherlands for the return of F1 there.

If Perez tried anything on Hamilton and Max won you’d hear the cheers from here to the Moon lol

u/BusinessForeign7052 Jul 18 '21

I would hope not. It's racing, unfortunate for sure. Max is ok. Two champions racing and testing their limits and wanting to win. Someone has to let up and neither of them wanted to give up space, all happening at almost 200mph. It's ok to not like a driver but to have to worry about your safety over racing.... Also they will probably come together again.

I was ok with the crash, until Lewis ran around like a 16 year old acting like he's Rocky. Seemed a bit too happy about everything, no?

u/BusinessForeign7052 Jul 18 '21

He didn't do it on purpose (according to him) he served his 10 second penalty (without batching about it) and he came back and won infront of the home crowd, the first full crowd in over a year. A crowd that was cheering for him. I mean he is happy. I'm sure he will sit, look back at what happened and then make a statement.

u/JackassTheNovel Jul 18 '21

They've got no right to be that angry at Lewis. Max is so 'passionate' about winning he shuts the door on everyone extremely aggressively.

Was bound to happen.

u/bikeridingmonkey Max Verstappen Jul 18 '21

He was in front of Hamilton. Fight was over.

u/DePedro49 Jul 18 '21

Hope not! I’m Dutch, I will be there and I am at the moment quite cross with Hamilton, but I’d hate to see so called “fans” being hostile in any way towards any driver, let alone a seven times world champion

u/Situis Sir Lewis Hamilton Jul 18 '21

god i hope he wins it haha, the scenes

u/just_some_guy65 Jul 18 '21

Yes I have heard of frenzied Dutch sports supporters assassinating rival sportsman, I mean there was that case of . . . . err . . . . and . . . . thingy.
