History of the Dutch Grand Prix

The Dutch Grand Prix has a rich but interrupted history in Formula 1. The first official race was held in 1952 (won by Alberto Ascari), although non-championship races had been held at the circuit in the dunes of Zandvoort since 1948.

The golden age of the Dutch Grand Prix was in the 1960s and 1970s. Jim Clark set a record with four victories (1963, 1964, 1965, 1967). Other legendary winners included Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda and James Hunt. The race became known for its challenging nature and the unpredictable weather conditions on the coast.

After the 1985 race, won by Niki Lauda (his last F1 victory), the Dutch Grand Prix disappeared from the calendar due to financial problems and the inability to meet the increasingly stringent safety requirements of the time.

For 36 years, there was no Dutch Grand Prix on the F1 calendar, despite several attempts to bring the race back. Ultimately, it was the "Max Verstappen mania" that provided the necessary impetus. Verstappen's enormous popularity led to renewed interest, resulting in major investments and modernization of the circuit.

Circuit Zandvoort

The current circuit is 4.259 kilometers long with 14 turns and combines old tradition with modern adjustments.

The most distinctive features are the banked corners, added during the renovation for F1’s return in 2021. The Hugenholtz Corner (Turn 3) has a 19-degree banking, while the spectacular Arie Luyendyk Corner is banked at 18 degrees. This banking, rare in F1, creates challenges for car set-up and tyre wear.

The circuit is relatively narrow by modern F1 standards, ranging from 10 to 14 metres wide. This, combined with limited run-off areas and gravel traps instead of tarmac, makes it an "old school" circuit where mistakes are severely punished.

The proximity of the sea provides surprising conditions: strong crosswinds can affect aerodynamics, while sand on the track can change grip levels. The asphalt has a high friction coefficient which provides good grip but also high tire wear.
