Zandvoort circuit suffers damage prior to Dutch Grand Prix.

      Track officials have not yet provided any updates regarding the schedule for repairs.

      Severe weather in the Netherlands has led to flooding and damage in Zandvoort, affecting the town's Formula 1 circuit just five weeks ahead of the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix. Starting Sunday night, heavy rainfall hit the area, causing water levels to rise to 40 to 50 centimeters in certain locations after a nearby watershed overflowed. "This Monday has not been an easy day for the residents of Zandvoort," reported Soy Motor.

      A social media user noted that the F1 venue has been affected, with flooded access roads, erosion, and visible damage to the track's surface at the banked final corner. The caption accompanying a photo of the damage read, "There goes Zandvoort."

      The adverse conditions also led to the cancellation of a scheduled test session by Delft University students, who had planned to test their hydrogen-powered vehicle. "Our car runs on hydrogen, but it can’t handle that much water," student Renzo Bootsma told NOS. "It’s unfortunate, as we were planning to conduct a longer test drive for the first time tonight."

      Track officials have yet to provide any information on the timeline for repairs, with just over 30 days remaining before the Dutch Grand Prix.
