The Zandvoort circuit has hosted nearly a century of Formula 1 drama and tragedy, from record-breaking victories to fatal crashes that shaped the sport's history. These images capture iconic moments and legendary drivers at one of motorsport's most storied venues.
Jim Clark in his Lotus in 1965 on the way to the third of his record four victories at Zandvoort
The Dutch Grand Prix has been the scene of tragedy with British drivers Piers Courage and Roger Williamson dying in accidents, in 1970 and 1973 respectively. Here, Sally Courage, Piers' wife, reads a novel on the day she would lose her husband
James Hunt's first F1 victory came at the 1975 Dutch Grand Prix, the only win for the privateer Hesketh team, who became known for their 'work hard, play hard' approach to the sport and raced in a patriotic red, white and blue. The key figures in the team were, from left: founder Lord Alexander Hesketh, Hunt, team manager Anthony 'Bubbles' Horsley and designer Harvey Postlethwaite
McLaren's James Hunt and Lotus' Mario Andretti tangle while battling for the lead in 1977, with the Briton eliminated on the spot. A few of the photographers in the bottom right of the picture have their attention elsewhere
Gilles Villeneuve's left rear wheel is barely hanging on to his Ferrari after he spun out of the lead in 1979 because of a punctured tyre. He was able to get back to the pits but the resulting damage ended his race. The footage of Villeneuve wrestling with his stricken car is one of the most replayed moments from the Canadian's career
Spectators run for cover as Rene Arnoux crashes at Tarzan in 1982. A wheel came off his Renault on the approach to the corner, effectively rendering the Frenchman a passenger, but he was unhurt
Dutch fans greet Red Bull's Max Verstappen with orange flares on the race's return to the F1 calendar in 2021. Home hero Verstappen would win the race on the way to his first world championship title
The sand dunes at the side of the track offer a viewing experience more in keeping with golf's Open Championship than a typical F1 race
