'''A1 Team Netherlands''' was the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] team of [[A1 Grand Prix]], an international racing series.

== Management ==
A1 Team Netherlands' owner was former [[Formula One]] driver and [[24 hours of Le Mans|Le Mans]] winner [[Jan Lammers]]. The team was managed by Lammers's racing team [[Racing for Holland]], notable for their participation in the [[24 hours of Le Mans]] and [[Sports car racing|FIA sportscars]] series.

== History ==
The [[2005–06 A1 Grand Prix season|2005-06 season]] had a difficult start for Team Netherlands. In the first two sprint races the car was hit in the first turn on both the [[Brands Hatch]] and [[EuroSpeedway Lausitz|EuroSpeedway]] circuits. Despite these setbacks, [[Jos Verstappen]] showed impressive overtaking action in the main races moving from the back of the grid to the seventh position. The season continued with average results, with 4th up to 19th positions as end results.

The street circuit of [[Durban street circuit|Durban]], [[South Africa]] brought the first victory for A1 Team Netherlands as in the last turn of the main race, Jos Verstappen managed to take the lead from the [[A1 Team Switzerland|Swiss]] car. A similar manoeuvre that failed during the sprint race forced Verstappen to start from the 16th place on the grid.

In [[2006–07 A1 Grand Prix season|2006-07]] Team Netherlands finished 5th in the championship, with one victory.

In [[2007–08 A1 Grand Prix season|2007-08]] Team Netherlands finished 7th in the championship, with 2 podiums.

For the [[2008–09 A1 Grand Prix season|2008-09 season]] Jeroen Bleekemolen returned as a driver, alongside A1GP rookie [[Robert Doornbos]]. Both drivers alternated races, starting with Bleekemolen at [[2008-09 A1 Grand Prix of Nations, Netherlands|Zandvoort]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.a1gp.com/News/NewsArticle.aspx?newsId=42042 |title=Netherlands names its drivers |publisher=a1gp.com |date=2008-09-18 |access-date=2008-09-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080919051251/http://www.a1gp.com/News/NewsArticle.aspx?newsId=42042 |archive-date=2008-09-19 }}</ref> Team Netherlands finished 4th in the championship, with both drivers having scored one victory in a sprint race.
