ZANDVOORT (Reuters) - As 70,000 Max Verstappen fans made their way to the Dutch Formula One Grand Prix at the small beach resort of Zandvoort this weekend, COVID-19 and social distancing seemed almost like a distant memory.

Even though Alfa Romeo driver Kimi Raikkonen had to pull out of the race after a positive COVID-19 test, fans on Saturday said the virus was the last thing on their minds.
