F1 was meant to return to the Netherlands for the first time since 1985 in 2020, but it had to be canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But this year the Dutch Grand Prix organizers have confirmed that the race will take place as planned with a limited amount of fans in the circuit. It’s an enormous boost for Max Verstappen as the race will take place in his backyard and one can surely expect an electrifying atmosphere from the Orange Army at the Zandvoort circuit. The Dutch Grand Prix [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/dutch-grand-prix/] is scheduled as the second leg of the upcoming triple-header and the Dutch fans have already started to make the hype of the race. As the speed limit at Zandvoort has been changed from 30 KMPH to 33 KMPH, matching the number of their local hero, Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/].

The win in Monaco was also very nice as well. To be honest, there’s been quite a few nice ones so far this season,” said Verstappen. “Overall, it’s been a good start for us, we’ve been really competitive. But we need to be there at the end of the season as well because that’s what you work for as a team, so let’s hope it’s going to be like that.” Currently, Max Verstappen sits P2 in the driver’s championship, just eight points behind his arch-rival, Lewis Hamilton [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/].

<h2>Dutch Grand Prix- 2021 Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</h2>
The Dutch Grand Prix is a special event for multiple reasons. Firstly, it comprises a track that’s a rollercoaster for F1 cars.

Secondly, it’s located right along the North Sea coastline, making for a fun-filled event. It also serves as the base for millions of members of the ‘Orange Army.'

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-418238" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201021183922/zandvoort-luftbild-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" />

Officially, the Zandvoort race marks F1’s return to Holland after nearly three decades. On an honest note, the Dutch Grand Prix truly revolves around one man –Max Verstappen.

The Red Bull star’s meteoric rise in F1 has resulted in a significant rise in interest among the Dutch for the motorsport.

The original track at Zandvoort paid little attention to important details like safety and viability. Back then, there were no proper barriers or mechanisms in place to properly hold a full-fledged F1 race.

Redesigned with Armco and race-ready tarmac, the Zandvoort track hosted the F1 circus during the 70s and 80s before shutting shop in 1985. Niki Lauda won in ’85 for McLaren in what was then the final Dutch Grand Prix.

<img class="size-full wp-image-418247 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201021184342/4d0487b02a1e4248c80f34e8d8a03fc5.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="685" />

Fast forward to 2019, and F1 announced its return to Holland for the following season. The hype was real, but sadly, COVID wreaked havoc on the 2020 calendar.

However, the Dutch Grand Prix has made it's return to the calender this year, with the race weekend set to take place from 3 to 5 September.

<h2>Dutch Grand Prix Circuit Details</h2>
For time immemorial, the Dutch Grand Prix has always been hosted at the circuit of Zandvoort. The track is measured to be 4.259-kilometers in length.  With a sprint length of 306.648 kilometers, the course needs 72 laps to be fully covered.

While it currently comprises 14 turns, it had 19 turns when it was first inaugurated. The grid, well known for its extremely well-developed corners and chicanes, makes the task of gaining speed rather hard. It has gone through extremes of remodeling to become the exciting grid that it is at present.

<img class="size-full wp-image-418256 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201021184721/GP-circuit.png" alt="" width="470" height="490" />

In addition to the several changes it has gone through, the modified circuit has also got new grandstands and a new pit building. The most contesting turn is the Tarzanbocht, i.e. Turn 1. The final turn of the circuit called Arie Luyendyk can also be considered to be a very challenging corner since it has a very steep curve.
<h2>Dutch Grand Prix Tickets</h2>
The tickets for 2021 are mostly available on the official F1 website.
<h2>Fatal Accidents at the Dutch Grand Prix</h2>
Circuit Park Zandvoort has witnessed several accidents. Some were so fatal that they drove a few audience members to the point of unconsciousness.

<img class="size-full wp-image-418262 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201021184941/Fatal_accident_at_1970_Dutch_Grand_Prix.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1278" />

Several drivers have suffered accidents over the years but the ones that stand out are Hendrik Dik on March 22, 1952; Wim Gerlach June 10, 1957; Werner Engel April 30, 1958; Ian Raby November 7, 1967; Chris Lambert, July 28, 1968; Piers Courage June 21, 1970; Rob Slotemaker July 29,1979;  Hans Georg Berger, July 20, 1980.

Apart from these, another iconic mishap happened with the F1 motorist Roger Williamson on July 29, 1973. It was an unexpected accident where his splintered tires caused his cockpit to hit the barriers, causing a fire breakdown and an unforgettable scene.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partneringÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr</a> in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified.

He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula 1, and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Fernando Alonso,</a>Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.out-of-this-world-verstappen-on-same-level-as-schumacher-and-alonso-says.6BLkA9yf5x1Qy1rHLyRQPW.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labeled</a>Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.planetf1.com/news/alonso-verstappen-is-the-best-driver-in-f1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid</a>.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><b>Max Verstappen: </b>Personal life</h2>
Max Verstappen's father - Jos Verstappen was an F1 driver who currently manages him. Jos' F1 career wasn't quite as successful as his son's. His mother's name is Sophie Kumpen. Verstappen's sister, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.instagram.com/victoriaverstappen/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victoria</a>, enjoys a healthy following on social media and has her own fashion line.

Verstappen was in a relationship with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/8531890/max-verstappen-girlfriend-dilara-sanlik-f1-red-bull/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dilara Sanlik</a>.Â As of 2024, Max Verstappen is in a relationship with Kelly Piquet. The latter even showed up at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, where Verstappen won his second F1 race of the season. She was standing amongst the Red Bull crew during the podium celebrations. Following the nerve-wracking 2021 season, Verstappen and Piquet spent their Christmas and New Year with the Piquet family in Brazil. Kelly is the daughter of 3-time champion Nelson Piquet.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Max Verstappen's Stats and On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Considering the age at which he joined Formula 1, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda.

[caption id="attachment_2223056" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2223056 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-10-07T194412Z_27526334_UP1EJA71ITMO9_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-QATAR.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1340" /> Formula One F1 - Qatar Grand Prix - Lusail International Circuit, Lusail, Qatar - October 7, 2023 Red Bull's Max Verstappen celebrates with his team after winning the championship REUTERS/Hamad I Mohammed[/caption]

However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen. Verstappen went in level on points with Lewis Hamilton heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. Both drivers were on 369.5 points and after a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, to clinch his first-ever title in F1.

Max Verstappen upped the ante the following season, claiming his 2nd Drivers' Championship in 2022 with 454 points. The 2023 season was Verstappen's most dominant as he clinched a hattrick of Drivers' titles with a record 86.35 win percentage. He won a total of 19 out of the 22 races in the 2023 season.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: New racing number</h2>
Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season.

One might wonder why there hasn't been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen, have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king's treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: Net Worth 2024</h2>
Naturally, the kind of personality Verstappen is, he always finds himself in the news good or bad. But at the end of the day, Verstappen delivers on the track and Red Bull doesn't want to lose their star driver. The Dutchman is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2028.

Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partneringÂ Carlos Sainz Jr in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified. He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula 1, and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso,Â labeledÂ him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid. But his skill also comes with him being a hot head oftenÂ known to say controversial statements or target teams/players directly. Formula One F1 &#8211; Singapore Grand Prix &#8211; Marina Bay Street Circuit, Singapore &#8211; September 17, 2023 Red Bull&#8217;s Max Verstappen during the drivers parade before the race REUTERS/Andy Chua Max Verstappen: Personal life Max Verstappen&#8217;s father &#8211; Jos Verstappen was an F1 driver who currently manages him. Jos&#8217; F1 career wasn&#8217;t quite as successful as his son&#8217;s. His mother&#8217;s name is Sophie Kumpen. Verstappen&#8217;s sister, Victoria, enjoys a healthy following on social media and has her own fashion line. Read More:Â Who Is Max Verstappen&#8217;s Father Jos? The Man Behind One of F1&#8217;s Greatest Superstars Verstappen was in a relationship with Dilara Sanlik.Â As of 2024, Max Verstappen is in a relationship with Kelly Piquet. The latter even showed up at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, where Verstappen won his second F1 race of the season. She was standing amongst the Red Bull crew during the podium celebrations. Following the nerve-wracking 2021 season, Verstappen and Piquet spent their Christmas and New Year with the Piquet family in Brazil. Kelly is the daughter of 3-time champion Nelson Piquet. Read More:Â Who is Max Verstappen&#8217;s Girlfriend? Kelly Piquet? Max Verstappen&#8217;s Stats and On-track Achievements Considering the age at which he joined Formula 1, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to Sebastian Vettel. With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda. Formula One F1 &#8211; Qatar Grand Prix &#8211; Lusail International Circuit, Lusail, Qatar &#8211; October 7, 2023 Red Bull&#8217;s Max Verstappen celebrates with his team after winning the championship REUTERS/Hamad I Mohammed However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen. Verstappen went in level on points with Lewis Hamilton heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. Both drivers were on 369.5 points and after a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, to clinch his first-ever title in F1. Max Verstappen upped the ante the following season, claiming his 2nd Drivers&#8217; Championship in 2022 with 454 points. The 2023 season was Verstappen&#8217;s most dominant as he clinched a hattrick of Drivers&#8217; titles with a record 86.35 win percentage. He won a total of 19 out of the 22 races in the 2023 season. Max Verstappen: New racing number Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season. One might wonder why there hasn&#8217;t been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen, have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king&#8217;s treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead. Max Verstappen: Net Worth 2024 Naturally, the kind of personality Verstappen is, he always finds himself in the news good or bad. But at the end of the day, Verstappen delivers on the track and Red Bull doesn&#8217;t want to lose their star driver. The Dutchman is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2028.
