Formula 1 returns for the second half of the 2026 season with a Sprint weekend at the Dutch Grand Prix. This event marks a potential final appearance for Max Verstappen on home soil, as the circuit has not been renewed beyond this year.

Kimi Antonelli currently leads the Drivers' Championship, maintaining an advantage over Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. While the Zandvoort circuit's lack of long straights may favor Ferrari, McLaren's Lando Norris and last year's winner Oscar Piastri remain significant threats.

Fans can follow the action from August 21-23. The schedule includes Sprint Qualifying on Friday and the Sprint race on Saturday. The main Grand Prix takes place on Sunday, August 23, with a 2pm UK start time. Coverage is available live on Sky Sports F1 or via NOW streaming.
