Dutch GP organisers have had to inform a third of the ticketed spectators for the forthcoming Formula 1 race at Zandvoort that they can no longer attend. With government authorities ruling that only two thirds of the sell-out 105,000-capacity audience may attend due to covid, race organisers devised a sort of ‘lottery’ scheme to randomly select the 70,000 who will attend. Earlier, race organisers had warned that without a full house, Zandvoort may have to cancel for financial reasons. “We have decided to invest in the future of Formula 1 in the Netherlands,” said the former F1 driver. The news will be a major relief for Formula 1, as Japan has now cancelled its scheduled 2021 race and question marks hang over several other grands prix.
