Location: Circuit Park Zandvoort, Netherlands


The Dutch Grand Prix is a Formula One championship race that has been held in the Netherlands, with the first race taking place in 1952.


Circuit:

The Zandvoort circuit is known for its fast, sweeping corners and challenging layout. Its proximity to the sea means that sand often blows onto the track, adding an extra layer of complexity for the teams and drivers. The track layout was revised and modernized ahead of its return to the F1 calendar in 2020.


2024 Champion:

Lando Norris (+175)of McLaren staged a strong comeback to secure a commanding win at the Dutch Grand Prix, despite initially losing the lead to Max Verstappen's Red Bull at the start.

Last year's winner Max Verstappen finished second for Red Bull Racing, while Charles Leclerc brought Ferrari to third place on the podium.

History:

The Dutch Grand Prix has had an on-and-off presence in the Formula One calendar. Historically, it was mainly held at the Circuit Park Zandvoort, located near the North Sea coastline in the town of Zandvoort. The race was a regular fixture between the 1950s and the mid-1980s, but it disappeared from the calendar after the 1985 edition.


Notable Moments:

Over the years, the Dutch Grand Prix has seen some iconic moments. One of the most memorable is the 1973 event when a major crash involving Roger Williamson led to his tragic death. The accident spurred significant safety reforms in the sport.


Winners of the Past:

Jim Clark - The legendary British driver won four times at Zandvoort (1963, 1964, 1965, and 1967). His smooth driving style was well-suited to the fast, flowing nature of the circuit.

Sir Jackie Stewart - Another British icon, Stewart won the Dutch Grand Prix three times, with victories in 1968, 1969, and 1973.

Niki Lauda - The Austrian three-time world champion won three times at Zandvoort, once in 1974 for Ferrari and then in 1977 again for Ferrari, and finally in 1985 for McLaren.


Atmosphere:

With the rise of Max Verstappen as one of the sport's top drivers, the enthusiasm for Formula One in the Netherlands has surged. The return of the Dutch Grand Prix was met with immense excitement, with orange-clad fans (reflecting Verstappen's national colors) turning up in large numbers.

The event's atmosphere, combined with the competitive nature of modern F1 racing, has made it a highlight of the season.
