Formula 1 goes Dutch in 2020

Formula 1 will return to the Netherlands in 2020 for the first time in 35 years for the Dutch Grand Prix.


An agreement has recently been signed between Formula 1 and Dutch Grand Prix – a partnership formed by SportVibes, TIG Sports and the Circuit Zandvoort – and will run for at least three years. Heineken, one of the longstanding Global Partners of Formula 1, will be the Title Sponsor of the event.

The Circuit of Zandvoort has a long history as a Formula 1 venue, and over the coming months, the facility will be rebuilt with help from Zandvoort town council and several other partners. The track and the infrastucture will be modified in order to meet the standards laid out by the FIA in order to host a Formula 1 World Championship event. The Dutch Grand Prix was first held in 1952, when it was won by a Ferrari, driven by Alberto Ascari, who went on to win the world championship that year.

Max Verstappen’s rise to stardom is believed to have been a big consideration in granting Zandvoort a place in the calendar. The Dutch Grand Prix will replace the Spanish Grand Prix in the schedule.

Meanwhile, there will also be a new race in Vietnam for 2020 with Hanoi being the venue and this could see the end of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
