Dutch GP circuit and details
Opened the same year as Silverstone in 1948, the Zandvoort circuit was a mainstay of the world championship in its early years.
The tight yet flowing layout, threading its way through the North Sea sand dunes, gave the circuit a unique character.
The first world championship Dutch GP was held in 1952 and was won by Alberto Ascari.
From the late ’50s onwards, the event stayed on the calendar till 1985 when newer GPs squeezed it out of the reckoning.
Verstappen has been dominant since Dutch GP return

Come 2021 though, and the immense popularity of home hero Max Verstappen made it a no-brainer to bring the event back, which has been a roaring success since its return.
Due to its confined nature, Zandvoort only has two DRS zones with passing chances at a premium over the race’s 72 laps.
However, added to the circuit on its refurbishment were two banked corners, with designer Jarno Zafelli telling Motor Sport that the track was about “big b******s, not DRS passes.”
With rain, thunder and lightning forecast for Saturday and Sunday, we could yet see a mixed up grid and some broken Dutch hearts if someone takes advantage to dethrone Verstappen this weekend.
