This is similar to how Verstappen calls Spa his home race (although he was born in Belgium, he races under the Dutch flag). That will change next year when F1 goes to race in Zandvoort.

Will be interesting to see which race Albon will consider a home race with the introduction of Vietnam to the race calendar.
As far as I know Max is Dutch as his father was born in Holland (Netherlands).
Jos was indeed born in Holland. But Max was born in Belgium and his mother is Belgian (according to Wikipedia). I guess that would make him 50% Belgian and 50% Dutch. He just chooses to race under the Dutch flag.
