Formula 1 sfans were left disappointed last weekend at the Belgian Grand Prix as the race was called off due to inclement weather before the fifth lap around the Spa. The race was stopped and then reT.V.arted with drivers behind a safety car for a few slow laps before Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was given the win as he had completed two laps according to Formula 1’s rules. Following last weekend’s rainy Belgian Grand Prix, Formula 1 drivers and teams are heading to the Netherlands for this year’s Dutch Grand Prix, and we have all the details on how you can watch the race on TV or online.
Verstappen’s rival, Lewis Hamilton, finished the short race in third place and called the whole situation “a farce”. While Verstappen won the race, he was only awarded half points for his podium. Although these points didn’t push Verstappen past Hamilton in the standings, he quickly closed in on his rival, who had 202.5 points compared to his 199.5 points. We’re halfway through the 2021 Formula 1 season, but there are still 10 Grand Prix events before the season ends in mid-December.
This weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix will be held at the Circuit Zandvoort, which has a circuit length of 2.6 miles (4.2km) and 14 turns, and drivers will complete 72 laps before finishing the 190 miles (306km) race. However, drivers will likely be unfamiliar with this old-school circuit as it hasn’t hosted a Grand Prix for 36 years. Since then, the track has been modernized with banking added in several corners, including the final corner, to handle the current generation of cars. Still, though, Circuit Zandvoort is a narrow track with gravel traps and may prove difficult for drivers this weekend.
Whether you’re rooting for Hamilton or Verstappen or want to tune in to see Circuit Zandvoort host a Grand Prix for the first time in 36 years, we’ll show you exactly how to watch the Dutch Grand Prix from anywhere in the world.
