The 2024 Dutch Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix 2024) was a Formula One motor race held on 25 August 2024 at the Circuit Zandvoort in Zandvoort, the Netherlands. It was the fifteenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship.
McLaren's Lando Norris took pole position, with Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing starting in second. Verstappen passed Norris before the first corner of lap 1, but Norris retook the lead on lap 18. Norris led the majority of the race, took the fastest lap, and won the race for his second career victory. Norris' victory broke Verstappen's streak of pole positions and race wins at the Circuit Zandvoort since its return to the Formula One calendar in 2021. Verstappen finished in second, with Charles Leclerc rounding out the podium for Ferrari.
The Dutch Grand Prix marked the last race start to date for Logan Sargeant, who was released from his Williams seat two days after the race with Franco Colapinto taking his place from the following Italian Grand Prix till the end of the season.
The event was held at the Circuit Zandvoort in Zandvoort for the 34th time in the circuit's history, across the weekend of 23–25 August. [2] The Grand Prix was the fifteenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship and the 34th running of the Dutch Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship. [3]
Going into the weekend, Max Verstappen led the Drivers' Championship with 277 points, 78 points ahead of Lando Norris in second, and 100 ahead of Charles Leclerc in third. Red Bull Racing, with 408 points, led the Constructors' Championship from McLaren and Ferrari, who were second and third with 366 and 345 points, respectively. [4]
The drivers and teams were the same as the season entry list with no additional stand-in drivers for the race. [5] Robert Shwartzman drove for Sauber in place of Valtteri Bottas during the first practice session. [6] This was the last race for Williams driver Logan Sargeant as he was replaced by Formula 2 driver Franco Colapinto for the remainder of the season. [7]
Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C1, C2, and C3 tyre compounds (the three hardest in their range) designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively, for teams to use at the event. [8]
Three free practice sessions were held for the event. The first free practice session was held on 23 August 2024, at 12:30 local time (UTC+2), and was topped by Lando Norris of McLaren ahead of Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing and Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes. The session was held in rainy conditions, facilitating the use of full wet tyres, and on a wet track, which gradually became dry. The second free practice session was held on the same day, at 16:00 local time, and was topped by George Russell of Mercedes ahead of Oscar Piastri of McLaren, and Russell's teammate Hamilton.
The third practice session was held on 24 August 2024, at 11:30 local time, and was topped by Pierre Gasly of Alpine ahead of Kevin Magnussen of Haas and Valtteri Bottas of Sauber. Much like the first session, it was held in rainy conditions. The session was red-flagged after Logan Sargeant of Williams was involved in a heavy crash, causing substantial damage to his car. It bottomed out on a patch of grass at the exit of turn three, sending him into a spin that made him strike the barriers at high speed, rear-end first, causing it to burst into flames. Due to this, Sargeant was unable to set a time during the subsequent qualification session, as his car was being repaired. The session was restarted at the one-minute mark, allowing drivers one lap and a practice start. [9]
Qualifying was held on 24 August 2024, at 15:00 local time (UTC+2). [9]
