WHO HAS PREVIOUSLY WON AN F1 ACADEMY RACE IN ZANDVOORT?
The longest-serving track on the calendar, the Circuit Zandvoort has been a fixture in all four F1 ACADEMY seasons so far. However, this weekend will mark the last Dutch Grand Prix.
On its first appearance in 2023, Hamda Al Qubaisi secured two victories, with Carrie Schreiner snatching the win in the reverse grid Race 2. The following year saw title rivals Abbi Pulling and Doriane Pin each achieve a victory.
Last year, it was double Dutch delight for the home crowds as Nina Gademan brought home the win in Race 1 followed by Maya Weug's victorious drive in Race 2 on Grand Prix Sunday.
