Dutch F1 commentator starts swearing in English after witnessing incredible near-crash

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Sometimes you see something so incredible you just don’t have the words. Or perhaps, more aptly, the only words come in a difference language and involve swearing. That’s what happened in the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday when Max Verstappen somehow saved himself from near disaster and kept his F1 car on the road while spinning in the rain.

The Dutch commentator on this clip has gone viral since video emerged of him screaming “HOLY SHIT!” and “WHAT THE FUCK!” after seeing Verstappen keeping his car on the track. It was an impromtu and real moment that proved commentators are fans too — and sometimes, well, all you can say is “holy shit.”

The English commentary was equally amazed, but didn’t drop any swear words.

They should have started cussing in Dutch, imo.
