Bored of the summer? Formula 1 is finally returning after a month break, with the Dutch Grand Prix, one of the relatively most recent additions to the F1 calendar. The race in Zandvoort, North Holland, has been held since 2021 (before that, it took place between 1950 and 1985), which is obviously home of Max Verstappen, champion there in 2021, 2022 and 2023. This year, however, the four-time World Champion from Red Bull, third in the standings, is going to have a tougher time to scratch McLaren’s dominance…
With Oscar Piastri leading the table, but Lando Norris winning three of the last four races and reducing the distance to just nine points, it’s anyone’s guess who will be champion this year. Netherlands will be the first of the final stretch of the season, with nine more races afterwards ending on December 7 in Abu Dhabi.
The Dutch Grand Prix is always one of the more popular races of the season, with a twisty and challenging layout that is frequently touched by varying weather conditions… and this year there are storms expected during the next weekend…
