Formula One is back, and it will shake off the rust in the beachside town of Zandvoort, roughly a 30-minute train ride from Amsterdam.
The grandstands will be unrepentantly orange, track position will be crucial around the narrow track, but banked corners also provide avenues for drivers to take different lines and create overtaking opportunities.
Key facts include:
- Circuit length: 4.259 km (2.646 miles)
- Number of laps: 72
- Race distance: 306.587 km (190.504 miles)
- Lap record: 1:11.097 (Lewis Hamilton, 2021)
- First GP: 1952
