Doornbos joked to RTL Boulevard: "It was int⛄ense. I don't wear expensive watches anymore, only an Apple Watch, then at least I can count my steps.”

A GPS tracking device was🍌 placed under Do♚ornbos’ car, allowing him to be trailed by the assailants, the report says.

Ajax footballer Dusan Tadic was the victim of a ꦫsimilar crime🦋 last year in the same country.

Lan🎶do Norris and Charles Leclerc have been robbed of luxury watches in recent times, too.

Doornbos raced in 11 F1 grands prix💜 for Red Bull and Minardi.
