F1 Dutch Grand Prix: Live updates, news and results from Zandvoort

Formula 1 returns from its August break on Sunday for Round 12 of the championship at the Dutch Grand Prix.

The Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix is taking place at Zandvoort, marking the end of a six-year run at the circuit. Lando Norris of McLaren starts on pole position, alongside George Russell of Mercedes, who won Saturday's sprint race. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes starts third, with Oscar Piastri, Norris's McLaren teammate, in fourth.

Max Verstappen, the hometown hero and reigning world champion, starts seventh. He has won the first three Dutch Grand Prix races since 2021, but this year's event may be different due to reported "fundamental problems" with his car and a cold. The circuit's organisers announced in December 2024 that they would end the Dutch Grand Prix's run at Zandvoort due to rising costs.

The event has been a lively one, with a large crowd of Verstappen fans, known as the "Orange Army," packing the grandstands. The circuit, located in the North Sea coastal dunes, is known for its challenging layout and windy conditions. According to DutchNews, it rained on Sunday morning, but the tracks are expected to be dry for the race.
