2025 Dutch GP Circuit Details

Nestled in the Dutch dunes, Circuit Zandvoort spans 4.259 km, with the race comprising 72 laps (totalling about 306.6 km). The track is characterized by tight, high-downforce corners, including steeply banked turns, the setup reminiscent of Budapest in aerodynamics demands.

Overtaking is notoriously tough, especially off the narrow straights and with heavy lateral load zones. Notably, one of the final corners features an 18° bank, enhancing the technical challenge.

Expect a cool and unsettled weekend, with temperatures around 19 °C and a high likelihood of showers each day, including race day. F1’s Teams must prepare for wet running and rapidly shifting conditions, which will heavily influence tire strategy and qualifying outcomes.

Pirelli brings the C2 (hard), C3 (medium), and C4 (soft) compounds to Zandvoort, one step softer than last year, in an effort to encourage two-stop strategies.

2025 Dutch GP Betting Picks

Lando Norris leads the charge after a dominant Friday, topping both FP1 and FP2 and outpacing Piastri. The defending Dutch GP winner returns to a circuit where he excelled last year, denying Max Verstappen a home win, andnow looks primed to continue his momentum into the title fight.

Oscar Piastri remains the Formula 1 championship leader by a narrow nine points. With six wins this season, his consistency has been key, though he’ll be challenged by Norris’s recent form. His ability to manage pressure after the summer and bounce back from setbacks will be critical over this ten-race title run-in.

Max Verstappen may struggle to win at home—he’s underwhelmed so far this weekend— but he’s drawing motivation from the home crowd and claims’ “no more pressure”. With McLaren dominant, Verstappen will need to extract maximum performance from his car if he hopes to get back on the podium.

Charles Leclerc continues his solid season, looking to capitalize at Zandvoort, where he’s consistently finished on the podium before. With Ferrari chasing Mercedes for consistency, Leclerc’s qualifying advantage might turn into a race result.
