The Dutch Grand Prix has taken place at Circuit Zandvoort in North Holland, Netherlands, with two distinct periods: from 1950 to 1985 and from 2021 onward. It joined the World Championship in 1952 and was granted the title of the European Grand Prix on two occasions: in 1962 and 1976, during a time when this title was an honorary recognition awarded annually to a single Grand Prix race in Europe. The ongoing event marks the 35th occurrence of the Dutch GP as an F1 fixture.
Scheduled at Circuit Zandvoort, a 4.259 km motorsport race track nestled within the dunes north of Zandvoort, Netherlands, close to the North Sea shore, the Dutch GP made its comeback to the Formula One calendar in 2021, hosting the revitalized Dutch Grand Prix. This venue boasts an FIA Grade 1 license and accommodates a maximum crowd capacity of 105,000 individuals.
The Dutch Grand Prix has seen Jim Clark emerge as its most accomplished driver, securing a remarkable four victories. Among constructors, Ferrari holds the title for the most successful with a total of eight wins. Notably, Lewis Hamilton set the official race lap record for this GP with a lap time of 1:11.097 during the 2021 Dutch Grand Prix.
