Aston Martin Red Bull’s Formula 1 drivers took a road trip around the Netherlands this year to celebrate the first Dutch Grand P🐼rix in 35 years.

An eagerly-anticipated reඣturn to a revamped Zandvoort circuit was set to take place last weekend, but the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic forced the postponement of the event, much to the disappointment of home hero Max♏ Verstappen and his entourage of ‘Orange Army’ followers.

To celebrate Verstappen’s homeland, Red Bull has released full footage of the trip around some of ✅the Netherland’s most iconic locations, including the cobbled streets of The Hague and wind mills along the Dutch countryside, before ending up at Zandvoort via a beach race. 

Verstappen and teammate Alex Albon each 🎃got behind the wheel of Red Bull’s title-winning machine, the dominant RB7, which won 12 of the 19 races held in the 2011 season for a high-speed thrill ride around Hollan🥀d.

ꩵ“If we can’t race, then I think it’s great to put something out there for our fans,” Verstappen said.

“The idea for this content came from Redℱ Bull and it’s very cool to show everyone a bit of Holland with this🐽 Dutch Road Trip.

“I think it’s very special and Red Bull are the only ones doing this kind of thing. Normally you only see F1 cars on a race track b🦩ut we do crazy stuff on snow,🐷 on the beach.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to see t🗹his in front of their homes. Plus, I got to do some laps of the new Zandvoort Circuit, so very happy with that!

“Of course, we are very muc🏅h looking forward to going racing again once it is safe, that’s what we all want,” he added.

“We were all very much looking forward to having a home Grand Prix in the Netherlands but hopefully later in the year or whenever it’s possible to race again we can get that started. 🐭In the meantime, I hope everyone enjoys this film.”

The trip ꧅was filmed in a total of 10 locations, representing a huge technical challenge𒐪 involving camera cars, drones, helmet cams and road closures across the country.

“A Formula 1 car is not designed to drive slowly and even at 90 kph, which is the top speed of the truck the boys encounter﷽, i🐲t still struggles,” Red Bull support team coordinator, Mark Willis, explained.

“Being in first gear all the time is not go💜od for the car, the engine’s too hot and we can come ac🃏ross problems.

“These cars are designed꧟ to race Grands Prix and what we pu💙t them through is not what they were made to do.”
