Rotterdam has sped into pole position to secure a Dutch grand prix in the future.
Earlier, Max Verstappen expressed scepticism amid reports Rotterdam or Amsterdam could host Formula 1 on the city streets.
However, Rotterdam-based sports promoter Herman Vaanholt told the local Formule 1 publication that he met with F1 circuit designer Hermann Tilke on Friday.
"[Tilke] asked some questions, looked at the plans and became increasingly enthusiastic," Vaanholt said.
However, he acknowledged that even a feasibility study has not yet been done.
"The municipality would have to take the initiative," he admitted.
"It would cost a little money, but who knows what would come of it?"
Algemeen Dagblad, a Dutch newspaper, said that a F1 street race in the capital Amsterdam is not likely.
"The cost of a street race is many times higher," said Prince Bernhard van Oranje, who is a co-owner of the Zandvoort circuit.
"Of course we would need to adjust some things with the circuit, but I think the costs would be much higher in the case of a street race."
The 2017 championship continues tomorrow with the United States Grand Prix.
