Formula 1 is never far from controversy these days, but the latest debate may have surprised a few. With most fans calling for the sport to look backwards and re-visit its glory days, you"d expect the return of the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort to go down well. However, the reaction hasn"t all been positive. Zandvoort is rich in F1 heritage. In fact, it hosted 30 Dutch Grand Prix"s between 1952 and 1985, with 20 different winners. The most successful driver at the beachside circuit? The great Jim Clark, with four victories to his name. It"s an old-school track too. In these times of Hermann Tilke-designed circuits with miles of run-off, you"d have thought there would be palpable excitement at the prospect of a few devilish gravel traps to catch some of the young drivers out (Scheivlak is particularly special).
