Bob Plaizier

Bob Plaizier has loved cars since childhood, and his passion for racing has gradually grown over time. Since the Malaysian Grand Prix in 2009, he has been hooked on Formula 1, and the number of races he has missed can be counted on one hand.

In 2017, he began studying journalism at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences. In the summer of 2021, he joined the team at GPToday.net as an intern. After completing his internship, he stayed on and has not left since.

After completing his studies in 2023, he will be able to focus full-time and with passion on the most important thing in life: Formula 1.
