Circuit Zandvoort

Weather conditions should be favorable for Sunday’s Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Zandvoort, with the race scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM local time (9:00 AM ET).

After showers affected portions of the weekend — including some late rain during Saturday’s Sprint — the weather is expected to improve considerably for the Grand Prix. Temperatures should be near 19°C (66–67°F) with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Current guidance keeps the race window largely dry, although a brief shower cannot be completely ruled out given Zandvoort’s coastal location. Winds will be moderate off the North Sea, potentially becoming a factor on the exposed portions of the circuit. Overall, a dry race is favored, with a weather interruption unlikely.

More about Circuit Zandvoort

Circuit Zandvoort, located along the North Sea coast near Amsterdam, is one of Formula 1's most iconic and demanding venues. Originally opened in 1948, the 2.646-mile (4.259-km), 14-turn circuit is renowned for its flowing layout, dramatic elevation changes, and steeply banked corners, including the signature Arie Luyendykbocht.

The narrow track rewards precision and commitment while making overtaking difficult, placing added importance on qualifying and race strategy. The circuit's coastal location can also produce rapidly changing weather, with gusty winds and passing showers often influencing car setup, tire strategy, and race outcomes.
