2026 Dutch GP: Schedule, Weather, and Viewing Details

The 2026 Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix is set to take place at Zandvoort this weekend, marking the return of the series after its summer break. The event follows Lando Norris' recent victory in Hungary and is significant as it will be Zandvoort's final race of the modern era.

This weekend features a sprint format, meaning teams will have limited time to prepare, with free practice 1 scheduled for August 21 at 12:30 PM CEST, followed by sprint qualifying at 4:30 PM CEST. The circuit is known for its narrow and fast layout, presenting challenges for drivers.

Weather forecasts for Friday predict mostly cloudy skies with mild temperatures and a chance of showers, which could impact the practice session. The conditions at Zandvoort are known to change quickly due to its seaside location, making track position and tyre performance crucial for the race weekend.
