We are Zandvoort. The beautiful Dutch track returned to the calendar in 2021, a year which ended with the conquest of the iris by the national protégé Max Verstappen. Max seems to have already put a very powerful mortgage on the 2022 world championship too but the Ferrari e Charles Leclerc they will do everything to snatch the scepter in the home race for the Dutchman, which a SPA & WELLNESS also thanks to a magnanimous weather, he took a health walk. Zandvoort is a fast track, but also technical and twisty, with two DRS zones, many ups and downs and banked corners. It's not a track that favors overtaking given the rather narrow layout. Precisely for this reason most of the teams played the penalty joker in Belgium. What awaits us in Holland? And what predictions will come true? Let's see it with the advice to Fanta F1!
Our choices
Between Safety Car, Red Flags and weather we reveal our predictions for Fanta F1!
Safety Car in the race: Yes
Last year we risked tragedy again and again, and although there was no yellow flag this year, with bigger and closer cars the Grand Prix could hold several surprises for us.
Virtual Safety Car in the race: No
We think a Virtual is more difficult.
Red Flag in the race: No
Basically there shouldn't be any surprises, even if the overpass remains a crucial and hard point to swallow especially in the first lap. However, we trust in the good sense of the riders. In addition, changes have been made to prevent the riders from bringing gravel onto the track and forcing the race direction to display the red flag.
Drivers distinguish wet or full wet tires in the race: No
There are clouds that threaten qualifying but not the race. At the moment the chance of rain is 2%. We advise you to update the weather at least until Saturday morning.
Team double in the race: No
The only team that can afford a one-two at the moment is Red Bull but Ferrari is confident they can regain those performances lost in the last two races. Also pay attention to Mercedes, with a Lewis Hamilton looking for redemption after Belgium.
Driver who starts on pole wins the race: Yes
Track on which little or nothing is overtaken, starting up front can be a great advantage for the Poleman.
Stables to bring both cars into the top 10: 4
As for the number of teams to bring both riders to the Top 10, we always stick to 4.
Vehicles forced to retire: 2
As for retirement we keep a little lower, with 2 cars forced to abandon the race.
