Revealed: Updated weather forecast for the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix
The weather at Zandvoort is due to be mixed for the Dutch GP weekend.
The Dutch GP weather forecast has arrived, with a mixed outlook at Zandvoort with rain forecast for Sunday’s grand prix.
As the summer break concludes, the season’s run-in has begun with the Dutch Grand Prix, and with Zandvoort being close to the seaside, the weather is likely to be unpredictable.
Dutch GP weather forecast: What will the weather be like in Zandvoort?
Wind is often an issue at Zandvoort, as can be the proximity to the coast, with sand having blown across the circuit in years gone by.
In 2025, all indications point towards mixed conditions this weekend. There has been wet-weather chaos at Zandvoort in recent years, too, with the 2023 edition of the race hosting a huge 186 overtakes – the most in any race in F1 history – in part down to the weather.
Even through the narrowness of the circuit, overtaking is possible, even more so in wet conditions, so the drivers will have to be on guard to get through the race safely this weekend.
