News

The Dutch Grand Prix will be removed from the Formula 1 calendar after 2026, it has been confirmed.

F1 announced a one-year extension for the race — held at the Circuit Zandvoort — on Wednesday, but also confirmed the 2026 event will be the last in the Netherlands.

The event has been a highlight on the calendar for many since its return in 2021, particularly for fans of Netherlands driver Max Verstappen, who has won the race three times.

F1 CEO and president Stefano Domenicali said: “I am incredibly grateful for the work that the team at the Dutch Grand Prix have done in recent years.

“They raised the bar for European Grands Prix in terms of event spectacle and entertainment, supported the development of young talent by hosting F2, F3 and our F1 ACADEMY series, and have also pioneered sustainable solutions that have inspired our events around the world as we drive towards being Net Zero by 2030.

“All parties positively collaborated to find a solution to extend the race, with many options, including alternation or annual events on the table, and we respect the decision from the promoter to finish its amazing run in 2026.

“I want to thank all the team at the Dutch Grand Prix and the Municipality of Zandvoort who have been fantastic partners to Formula 1.”
