Located in the dunes on the seaside of North Holland, Zandvoort opened in 1948, it hosted Formula 1 races from 1952 to 1985 and returned to the F1 calendar in 2021 as the Dutch Grand Prix. Known for its challenging, undulating layout and banked corners like Tarzanbocht, the 4.259 km circuit blends high-speed straights with technical turns.

Surrounded by scenic dunes, it’s a favorite for drivers and fans. The track also hosts various motorsport events, including DTM and historic races, with modern facilities enhancing its appeal.

The 2021 Dutch Grand Prix marked the race's return to the Zandvoort circuit for the first time in 36 years. Max Verstappen, racing for Red Bull, was the clear favourite, given his lead in the championship and the support of the home crowd. The odds on his victory were around 1.50, making him the obvious choice for most bets.

Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas finished second and third, respectively, but bookmakers' attention was drawn to a bet on Pierre Gasly (AlphaTauri) finishing in the top six. One fan bet €200 on this outcome at odds of 8.00, considering that Gasly started from fourth position but his car was considered less competitive. Gasly finished fourth, earning the bettor a €1,600 win.

The 2021 race was also memorable for the high level of competition between Red Bull and Mercedes, which led to volatility in the odds for secondary outcomes such as fastest lap and top 10 positions. One of the recorded big wins was related to a bet on Hamilton setting the fastest lap. A bettor who placed €500 at odds of 3.50 received €1,750, as Hamilton set the fastest time on the last lap despite finishing second in the race.

In 2022, Max Verstappen once again dominated on his home track, starting from pole position and winning the race with a 4-second lead over George Russell. The odds on Verstappen winning were even lower than in 2021, at around 1.30, which made betting on him less attractive.

Fernando Alonso (Alpine) stood out in particular, finishing sixth despite starting from 13th position. One bettor who believed in the Spanish veteran's experience placed €1,000 on Alonso finishing in the top 6 at odds of 6.50. The risk paid off, and the winnings amounted to €6,500.

Another big win was linked to a bet on Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) finishing in the top 5. Despite Ferrari's reliability issues in 2022, the Monegasque driver finished third, earning the bettor who placed €300 at odds of 4.00 a €1,200 win.

The 2023 Grand Prix was memorable for its difficult weather conditions, which made the race unpredictable. Rain at the start and end of the race led to chaos on the track, including red flags and strategy changes. Max Verstappen won again, but his odds of winning were minimal at around 1.20.

Fernando Alonso, racing for Aston Martin, finished second, which was a sensation considering he started from fifth position. One fan bet €400 on Alonso finishing on the podium at odds of 10.00, which earned him €4,000.

An even more impressive win was recorded on a bet on Liam Lawson (AlphaTauri) finishing the race. Lawson, a rookie who replaced the injured Daniel Ricciardo, finished 13th. One bettor risked €100 on him finishing higher than 15th and won €1,000.

The 2024 Dutch Grand Prix was a real breakthrough for Lando Norris (McLaren), who won the race for the first time, starting from pole position and setting the fastest lap.

The odds on Norris winning were around 3.50, making him a less obvious choice compared to Verstappen (odds of 1.25). One fan who believed in McLaren's potential bet €2,000 on Norris to win, which earned him €7,000.

Another big win came from a bet on Norris' fastest lap. A bettor who placed €500 at odds of 6.00 received €3,000, as Norris set the fastest lap time, ahead of his competitors. McLaren's success in 2024 was due to significant improvements in the car's aerodynamics, which allowed the Briton to dominate the track.
