Zandvoort is a compact, old-school circuit nestled in the Dutch sand dunes near the North Sea. Its two banked corners (Turns 3 and 14) are unique on the calendar, adding an extra dimension to racing. The narrow layout and limited run-off make it a true drivers' challenge where qualifying is paramount.
Zandvoort hosted the Dutch Grand Prix from 1952 to 1985 before dropping off the calendar for 36 years. It returned in 2021 to accommodate the rise of Max Verstappen and his massive Dutch fanbase, with the 'Orange Army' creating one of the most electric atmospheres in all of motorsport. The circuit was modernized with banked corners inspired by American oval racing.
Max Verstappen won the first Dutch Grand Prix in 36 years in front of a sea of orange-clad fans, dominating from pole position.
Max Verstappen won his third consecutive Dutch Grand Prix, making it a perfect record since the race's return to the calendar.
Niki Lauda won the last Dutch Grand Prix before the 36-year hiatus in what would be the final season of his remarkable career.
