Doornbos joked to RTL Boulevard: "It was inten꧃se. I don't wear expensive watches anymore, only an Apple Watch, then at least I can count my steps.”

A GPS tracking device was placed under Doornbos’ carꦐ, allowing him to be trailed by the assailants, the report says.

Ajax footballer Dusan Tadic was the victim of a similar crime last year in ඣthe same country.

ꦛLando Norris and Charles Leclerc have been robbed of 👍luxury watches in recent times, too.

Doornbos racedꩵ in 11 F1 grands prix for Red Bull and Minardi.
