F1 2024 Dutch Grand Prix weather forecast - latest today from Zandvoort

F1 returns from summer break this weekend, with the Dutch Grand Prix marking the first of the season's final 10 rounds.

Last year's race witnessed heavy rain downpours and a late red flag with just a handful of laps to go. Despite this, Max Verstappen maintained his lead after the restart, securing a home win and matching Sebastian Vettel's record of nine straight victories.

As F1 returns to Zandvoort this weekend, the Dutchman will be hoping to reclaim his on-track dominance and secure his eighth win of the season after facing a brief dry spell and going four races in a row without a victory.
