Aditya ChaudhuriFormula One has announced that the Dutch Grand Prix, which is held at CM.com Circuit Zandvoort in Zandvoort, the Netherlands, will remain on the calendar until 2025. The new deal sees the partnership with the Dutch Grand Prix added on for an additional two years on top of the initial three-year deal.
Racing in Zandvoort returned in 2021 and since then has seen two packed races. The 2023 Dutch Grand Prix, which is scheduled to be held on August 27, has already been sold out.
With the F1 grid all set to have two Dutch drivers next season in reigning World Champion Max Verstappen and AlphaTauri’s new recruit Nyck de Vries, the support in Zandvoort is only going to increase.
Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula One, commented:
“The Dutch Grand Prix has quickly established itself on the calendar as a fan favourite, bringing incredible energy and a great fan experience every year. The sold-out events in the last two years have raised the bar in terms of organisation, entertainment, and sustainability, and we are delighted to extend our relationship with them. There is huge demand to host F1 races so it is testament to what the team have done to cement Zandvoort on the calendar until 2025, and we can’t wait to return next summer.“
Jan Lammers, Sporting Director of FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN DUTCH GRAND PRIX, added:
“We are looking forward to the upcoming Grands Prix. With great races in which Dutch fans can now enjoy no less than two Dutch drivers. Of course, we will again offer an extensive and surprising entertainment program. With this we are again offering the ultimate race festival. We want the world to experience again how we as the Netherlands organise an event. It is unique that we are on the calendar with world cities like Las Vegas, Monaco, and São Paulo. And as we say internally, we are ‘Ready for Tomorrow’. We need and want to put on the F1 event of the future, which is not necessarily bigger but better, more engaging, more innovative, more sustainable, and more inclusive.“
Robert van Overdijk, Director of FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN DUTCH GRAND PRIX, said:
“We are happy to secure the extension and want to give thanks to the support from Formula 1, the business community in Zandvoort, and of course our fans. We will continue to raise the bar every year in terms of socio-economic, social and sustainability, as well as fan experience. We look forward to welcoming our loyal partners, teams and fans until at least 2025!“
