Today, The Internationalist talks with Tijmen Bos, Commercial Director of Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix in Amsterdam. Interestingly, auto racing’s highest class of single-seater competition was scheduled to take place at Circuit Zandvoort, North Holland, Netherlands earlier this month.  The event, of course, was officially postponed; however, 2020 and subsequent years represent the return to Formula 1 for the Heineken Dutch Grand Prix after the Netherlands hosted the races from 1948 to 1985.  According to Tijmen Bos, bringing back Formula 1 after 35 years was big news to Dutch fans—especially to Heineken as lead sponsor.  Yet, despite the postponement, all 400 supporting companies—of all sizes— have continued to back the race.
