Max Verstappen complete several laps of the revised Zandvoort circuit to officially open the Dutch Grand Prix venue and the Dutchman says it was 'special'.

Driving the RB8 at Zandvoort on Wednesday, Verstappen completed several laps of the circuit before lighting up the tyres to perform donuts.

“It was really cool,” Verstappen told Sky Sports. “The track was already very nice to drive before but I think with the changes they've made to the rack, it makes it more special.

“Especially Turn 3 and the last corner with the banking. Turn 3, the entry is very blind because it's such a big drop. When you're sitting so low in the car you can't really see it. But that makes it good.

“For sure, there will be a lot of fun when we arrive here for the grand prix.”

Formula One last raced at Zandvoort in 1985 when Niki Lauda won for McLaren. The sport will return on May 3 for the first edition of the next generation.
