The Dutch Grand Prix is unlike anything else on the F1 calendar — a seaside rollercoaster of banking, orange smoke, and Max mania. In this episode of F101 with Friends, I’m joined by Sanjay (from our Bahrain episode) to dive into everything that makes Zandvoort so unique.
We talk about the history of the circuit and its revival, the 2025 race weekend full of strategy swings and surprises, and what it’s like to race on a track shaped like a J with corners that feel more like a carnival ride than a Grand Prix. From the roar of the Dutch fans to the challenge of overtaking on this twisty layout, Zandvoort is chaos in the best way possible.
If you’re curious about the Dutch GP’s past, present, and future — or why every driver holds their breath through Tarzanbocht and Arie Luyendyk — this episode has you covered.
