Dutch Grand Prix

Sunday December 6 2026

Zandvoort is a compact circuit on the Dutch coast, close enough to the North Sea that wind conditions can shift across a race weekend and affect how the cars behave. The layout has fast corners and significant elevation changes, which makes it technically demanding. The Dutch Grand Prix has one of the most distinctive atmospheres on the calendar. The stands are filled with orange-clad fans, many of whom are there to support Max Verstappen. It is one of the louder and more passionate crowds of the season.

Where is the Dutch Grand Prix held?

The Dutch Grand Prix takes place at Circuit Zandvoort, in the dunes on the North Sea coast around 30 kilometres west of Amsterdam.

Why go to the Dutch Grand Prix?

Zandvoort is one of the most distinctive circuits on the Formula 1 calendar. The lap is fast and flowing, running through coastal dunes, and the circuit has two banked corners at Turn 3 and Turn 14. Banking allows cars to carry more speed through a corner than a flat surface would permit. It is a feature you rarely see in modern Formula 1. The home crowd is one of the most passionate of the season, with the stands filled with orange-clad fans supporting Max Verstappen. Amsterdam is a 30-minute train ride from the circuit, which makes it straightforward to combine the race with a few days in the city.

What to expect over three days

Plan for three full days, Friday to Sunday, to see every Formula 1 session and the support races. Friday is practice. Saturday is final practice and qualifying. Sunday is the Grand Prix. Note: 2026 is a sprint weekend at Zandvoort, with sprint qualifying on Friday and the sprint race on Saturday.

What makes the Dutch Grand Prix special?

Zandvoort is the only circuit on the calendar set among coastal dunes. The two banked corners are unique in modern Formula 1 and give the circuit a character of its own. Amsterdam is 30 minutes away by direct train, so staying in the city and travelling to the circuit each day is a straightforward option. The 2026 Dutch Grand Prix is the last race at Zandvoort under the current contract, with the future of the race beyond 2026 not yet confirmed.
