Five seasons and then gone. Returning to the calendar in 2021, the Dutch Grand Prix (absent since 1985) will no longer be part of the Formula 1 landscape from 2027. F1 communicated, this Wednesday, December 4, on this subject: announcing notably that the Dutch GP would be extended by one season, until 2026.
“After much thought and discussion, the promoter has made the decision not to maintain the Dutch Grand Prix” beyond this date, it is indicated in a press release.
Next Dutch GP in August 2025
Originally the historic Zandvoort circuit was scheduled until 2025. This penultimate edition will be scheduled from August 29 to 31.

Questioned by the national channel NOSGP director Robert van Overdijk explained that he had “several options on the table” to continue organizing a race on the land of “Mad Max”.
“We could have alternated with other circuits, there was also the possibility of continuing to organize the GP every yearhe explained in particular. Finally, the decision was made to end the meeting after the 2026 edition.”
