The 2024 Formula 1 season continues this weekend with the Dutch Grand Prix at the iconic Circuit Zandvoort. After an exciting race in Belgium before the summer break, the teams and drivers head to the Netherlands for the 13th round of the championship.
The Dutch Grand Prix marks the return of Formula 1 to Zandvoort, a circuit that last hosted a race in 1985. The track’s undulating layout and narrow nature make it a true test of driver skill, and with the passionate Dutch fans cheering on local hero Max Verstappen, the atmosphere is sure to be electric.
Verstappen will be the heavy favorite to take the victory on home soil. The reigning world champion has been in dominant form so far this season, winning 8 of the 12 races. He currently leads the championship by a comfortable margin and will be determined to extend that lead with another victory in front of his adoring fans.
However, Verstappen will face stiff competition from the rest of the grid. Mercedes have shown improved pace in recent races, with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell both securing podium finishes. Ferrari will also be looking to bounce back after a disappointing outing in Belgium.
Fans looking to catch all the action can tune in to the race live on F1TV, which offers full coverage and onboard cameras. For those without an F1TV subscription, highlights and live updates will be available on f1livegp.net, totalsportek.com, and the Formula 1 subreddit r/F1Streams.
