F1 2026 Dutch Grand Prix: Zandvoort start time and schedule

The 2026 Dutch Grand Prix is the first sprint weekend at Zandvoort and the circuit’s final Formula 1 appearance after six race weekends since 2021.

  • The 2026 Dutch Grand Prix arrives at Zandvoort this weekend for the 12th event of the Formula season, marking the final appearance at the historic venue after hosting six race weekends since its 2021 return.
  • Returning to the calendar in 2021, Zandvoort went against the trend by adding a European venue as races in America and the Middle East mounted up, moving the sport away from its traditional heartland.
  • Home hero Max Verstappen, who holds three victories at the circuit, declared he "just wants to enjoy" the Dutch Grand Prix with fans as the event hosts the fifth of six sprint races this year.
  • Championship leader Kimi Antonelli arrives in the Netherlands looking to extend his lead, while rain is forecast for Saturday's sprint race and Sunday's 72-lap race starts at 14:00.
  • Beyond the race, significant interest surrounds Aston Martin as Honda prepares to debut a new power unit, while Verstappen noted the track will remain open for other series after Formula departs.
