History:

The Dutch Grand Prix has had an on-and-off presence in the Formula One calendar.

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.
