2025 Dutch F1 Grand Prix Prix-view – Race Potential Rating
The Gurgler does like to use some obscure drivers in our Race previews and report, so who better to use than Teo Fabi to determine a race rating system.
So before each race we give a rating out of ten for four key category that are loosely based on each letter of Teo Fabi’s surname. Don’t know who Teo Fabi is, you should.
FAST? 7 / 10 – From any angle the track diagram looks like the worst drawing of a Hammerhead Shark you’ve ever seen, and like the animal it can certainly bite. This modern day version isn’t quite as fast as its predecessor, but it is also much safer. There’s some fast sections, and a good long straight coming off a banked corner, which looks fast and that’s a good thing it is doesn’t bring overtaking. But the best part is not necessarily the fastest, but it makes the cars look fast and that is the banked Hugenholtzbocht. Named after the track designer, it is the corner where F1 cars look more like MarioKart than anywhere else.
ACTION? 4 / 10 – Pretty tight circuit for width, so overtaking is limited. WE asked AI to tell us about average overtaking moves and it is apparently lower than Spain, which isn’t good. But there’s at least a chance to see the car goes fast.
BIG HISTORY? – 5 / 10 – It was a regular in F1 up to 1985, and so feels like a great historic track. It’s recent inclusion is off the back of Max-mania which has become a blur of Red Bull domination until last year, where an orange car did the same.
INCLEMENT WEATHER? – 7 /10 – The Weather Channel says over 50% chance of rain on all three days. Including Thunderstorms on Friday afternoon. It could be a cold, wet. miserable weekend for most at the track, but great for armchair fans around the world.
RACE POTENTIAL RATING 58% – Some cool corners to admire these F1 drivers on, and a few corners to catch out the hopeless. But the tight nature means qualifying will be all-important. But there’s enough rain predicted to make it potentially super interesting. Just not too much rain.
