The 2023 Dutch Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix 2023) is a Formula One motor race scheduled to be held on 27 August 2023 at the Circuit Zandvoort in Zandvoort, the Netherlands. Liam Lawson made his Formula One Grand Prix season debut with AlphaTauri.

Background

The event is set to be held across the weekend of 25–27 August. It is the thirteenth round of the 2023 Formula One World Championship and the 35th running of the Dutch Grand Prix.[1]

Championship standings before the race

Coming into the weekend, Max Verstappen led the Drivers' Championship by 125 points from teammate Sergio Pérez, with Fernando Alonso third, a further 40 points behind. Red Bull Racing led the Constructors' Championship, leading Mercedes by 256 points and Aston Martin by a further 51 points.[2]

Entrants

The drivers and teams were initially the same as the season entry list with the exception of Daniel Ricciardo, who replaced Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards.[3][4] Ricciardo was subsequently replaced by Liam Lawson, having broken a metacarpal bone in his left hand in a crash in the second practice session. Lawson made his Formula One race debut.[5][6] Robert Shwartzman drove for Ferrari in place of Carlos Sainz Jr., during the first practice session.[7]

Tyre choices

Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C1, C2 and C3 tyre compounds (designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively) for teams to use at the event.[8]

Practice

Three practice sessions were held for the event. The first free practice session was held on 25 August 2023, at 12:30 local time (UTC+2); it was red-flagged once as Nico Hülkenberg crashed at the last corner. Max Verstappen topped the session, with Fernando Alonso the second-fastest and Lewis Hamilton third.

The second free practice session was held on 25 August 2023, at 16:00 local time (UTC+2) and was topped by Lando Norris, with Verstappen the second-fastest and Alexander Albon third. The session was red-flagged when Oscar Piastri and Daniel Ricciardo crashed moments apart at turn 3. The accident resulted in a broken metacarpal bone in Ricciardo's left hand. He was deemed unfit to partake in further sessions throughout the weekend; Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri's reserve driver Liam Lawson replaced Ricciardo for the remainder of the weekend.[9]

The third free practice session was held on 26 August 2023, at 11:30 local time (UTC+2) in wet conditions. Verstappen topped it with George Russell being second and Sergio Pérez third. The session was red-flagged three times for Kevin Magnussen's crash and spins of Zhou Guanyu and Liam Lawson.

Qualifying

Qualifying was held on 26 August 2023, at 15:00 local time (UTC+2).[10]

  • ^2Kevin Magnussen qualified 18th, but he was required to start the race from the back of the grid for exceeding his quota of power unit elements.
