The FIA Race Director shares details for F1 Dutch GP in terms of the track limits, circuit changes, DRS zones and more, as the summer break ends.

The track limits as per the FIA Directors’ Note remains the white line around Circuit Zandvoort for F1 Dutch GP. But there is an additional catch regarding Escape Roads usage at Turn 1, Turn 8 and Turn 11, where the driver will have to adhere to the rules set.

The changes around the circuit from the 2023 F1 Dutch GP to 2024 is rather minimal. One of the major ones is pitlane building getting extended by six garages. The list as goes:

In terms of the two DRS zones at Zandvoort, the first one’s detection is at the entry of Turn 10, with its activation being 50m after Turn 10. The second’s detection is at 20m after Turn 12, with its activation being 40m after Turn 13.

As for the FIA stewards, the panel will be led by Felix Holter and he will have the support of Mathieu Remmerie, Johnny Herbert and Arie Kroeze.
