A mixed bag this weekend at Zandvoort but what is in store for the race?
The 2024 Dutch Grand Prix featured various weather conditions at Zandvoort over the weekend, with sessions experiencing multiple seasons. FP1 began in challenging conditions but the track dried quickly before a dry FP2; however, rain returned for FP3, leading to a significant accident for Logan Sargeant that prevented him from qualifying. Qualifying was dry, but rain forced the postponement of the F1 Academy race to Sunday morning, raising questions about race day conditions. Current forecasts predict a dry race without rain at Zandvoort, though strong winds from the South-West are expected to persist, creating crosswinds through the final banked corner and along the pit-straight. While the winds won’t be as intense as on Friday, they are still stronger than typical for grand prix races, ranging from 20-40kph (12.4-24.8mph). Temperatures are forecasted to be around 19 degrees Celsius for the event.
