Formula 1 resumes with the Dutch Grand Prix Sprint weekend at Zandvoort from August 21-23, 2026. Max Verstappen aiming for a strong performance in potentially his last home race is currently without a victory this season. Kimi Antonelli leads the Drivers' Championship over Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, who are looking to close the gap. Ferrari could benefit from Zandvoort's track layout, although McLaren's Lando Norris also poses a threat after his recent win at the Hungaroring. The event marks the final Dutch Grand Prix, as the race has not been renewed beyond this year.
