I don't think he is half Belgian anymore since he no longer has the Belgian nationality, but OK that's up for debate.

If we consider him pure Dutch like he does himself (now), then currently he has no home GP, just like Raikkonen, Bottas, Magnussen and Kubica.

Sure, the Belgian GP is close(st) to his home, and may be the closest to a home GP he can get in 2019.
I'm quite sure though that he will call Zandvoort his home GP in 2020, and not Spa.
