F1 2026 Dutch Grand Prix: Zandvoort start time and schedule
F1 is preparing to bid farewell to the iconic Zandvoort, which will host the Dutch Grand Prix for the final time before it drops off the calendar for 2027.
A sellout crowd is expected to support home hero Max Verstappen, who will hoping to add to his three victories at the 4.259km track situated in the North Sea coastal town. The four-time world champion is yet to win a race in what has been a difficult 2026 season for Red Bull.
Mercedes heads to Zandvoort as the team to beat, having dominated most of the 2026 season so far.
After racking up six victories, Andrea Kimi Antonelli sits top of the world championship and is 50 points clear of Lewis Hamilton.
But it was McLaren and reigning world champion Lando Norris who closed out the first half of the season on a high note by returning to winning ways at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Mercedes might not have things all its own way at Zandvoort, which is a track that suits Ferrari’s car on paper.
Based on its performance at the tight and twisty Hungaroring, McLaren could also be a threat. The British squad has won the last two races at Zandvoort.
