Formula 1 is never short on surprises. On August 19, 2026, at 3:30 PM, the official account of the premier motorsport category dropped a message that quickly went viral: “A trophy is nice. Champagne is great. But a bag full of treats? That's the real prize for winning at Zandvoort 😋”. With a witty and direct tone, F1 confirmed that the winner of the Zandvoort Grand Prix will receive an extra reward: a bag filled with sweets.
“A trophy is nice. Champagne is great. But a bag full of treats? That's the real prize for winning at Zandvoort 😋”
The timing is no coincidence: the Zandvoort circuit, located in the Netherlands, is one of the most vibrant and festive tracks on the calendar. When F1 returned to this historic circuit in 2021, it rekindled local passion, with an unmatched sea of orange fans cheering on every lap. With this gesture, the category aims to connect with younger audiences and showcase a more fun, approachable side.
While no specific treats or sponsors were mentioned, the tweet is generating massive engagement. Online, fans are already speculating about the bag's contents: candies, chocolates, or maybe a classic Dutch stroopwafel? What's clear is that the Dutch Grand Prix has become an absolute celebration.
The news quickly reached Argentine fan communities, who are rejoicing with humor and recalling that F1 always knows how to bring original gestures. For more updates on the championship and to confirm the exact weekend schedule at Zandvoort, check the official F1 X (Twitter) page.
