As the thousands of spectators now pass through the gates of Circuit Zandvoort, the weather is by no means pleasant. On the coast of North Holland, the wind is already quite strong, which is going to make the free practice sessions this Friday quite a challenge for the drivers. KNMI has even issued code yellow for the area, as wind gusts of 80 to 85 kilometres per hour are expected. The drivers are worried, the FIA and Circuit Zandvoort management are not (yet).
