The return of the Dutch Grand Prix will be welcome news for Max Verstappen's army of fans, with Formula 1 cars returning to Zandvoort for the first time in 35 years next year with confirmation of a three-year deal.

But the Zandvoort circuit will need to undergo some modifications to be ready for modern F1 cars and former driver and team boss Jan Lammers, who has been put in charge of the event, briefly described what would be done ahead of F1's return in a years time.

"The start/finish line will be brought forward a little bit towards Tarzan to ensure that the grid is clearly visible from the main grandstand," he explained during a press conference confirming the return of the race.

"The exit of Gerlachtbocht (above) will be widened for safety reasons, and the Hugenholtzbocht (below) will be widened on the inside to allow for more space and will allow higher speeds heading towards Scheivlak.

"Then at Hans Ernstbocht (below), the second part will be shortened and widened to improve flow through the corner and reduce its stop-start character and increase speeds."

The final corner, Aire Luyendijk, will be banked to allow for DRS to be used on the exit and down the start/finish straight.

Lammers didn't mention if Zandvoort's vast gravel traps would be replaced with asphalt, as is the case at most Grade 1 circuits on the F1 calendar.

It's also expected that additional grandstands will be erected around the circuit and there will be infrastructure improvements to the local area to account for the increased traffic requirements.

Currently the paddock is very small with no room to expand it, therefore it's likely the area situated to the left of the Hans Ernst corner will be used to accomodate team motorhomes and much of the paddock equipment.
