Dutch Grand Prix

- Carel Godin de Beaufort and Gijs van Lennep were the only Dutch drivers to score a point in their home race during the track’s first stint on the calendar, finishing sixth in 1962 and 1973, respectively.
- According to local legend, the infamous Tarzan Corner is a tribute to a man who would only give up his vegetable garden on the plot of land where the circuit was to be built if the track had a corner named after him.
- Max Verstappen became the Netherlands’ first home winner at the 2021 Dutch Grand Prix. The country became the twelfth to have a home winner in Formula 1. It was the first time a new country had been added to that list since Fernando Alonso won his home race for the first time at the 2006 Spanish Grand Prix.
- Jim Clark holds the record for most Dutch Grand Prix victories, with four victories at Zandvoort in 1963, 1964, 1965, and 1967.
