The F1 Dutch Grand Prix 2025 runs at Circuit Zandvoort on August 31 at 3:00 PM local time. It’s 72 laps on a 4.259-kilometer track with tight turns and big elevation shifts. The home crowd for Max Verstappen will make it loud. Weather forecasts show possible storms, which could mix things up. Last year, Lando Norris won from pole. This year, with McLaren strong, it might happen again. But only two Dutch GPs left before 2026, so it’s special.
