Popular F1 race to be scrapped from calendar after forcing team to change name to take part
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FAN-FAVOURITE Formula One track will be scrapped from the calendar after 2026. The Dutch Grand Prix, the home race of reigning F1 world champion Max Verstappen, will be hosting its final two races on the motorsport's calendar later this year and next year.

However, Robert van Overdijk, the Dutch Grand Prix director, confirmed in December of last year that the circuit would only host races for two more years. He said: "We are a privately owned and operated business, and we must balance the opportunities presented by continuing to host the event, against other risks and responsibilities. "We have decided to go out on a high with two more incredible Dutch Grands Prix in 2025 and 2026. "We wanted to take this step while our event is adored and supported by passionate fans, residents, and the Formula 1 community." Last year, Sauber - who are becoming Audi from 2026 - was forced to drop the Stake sponsor title from its team name because of strict betting rules in the Netherlands. Zandvoort only returned to F1 in 2021 to capitalise on a boom in interest in the Netherlands following the success of Red Bull star Verstappen - who has won four drivers titles in a row.

"All parties positively collaborated to find a solution to extend the race, with many options, including alternation or annual events on the table, and we respect the decision from the promoter to finish its amazing run in 2026."

New tracks earmarked to fill the spot include an F1 return to Africa at South Africa's Kyalami circuit, while F1 have been in talks to add another street race on the streets of Bangkok, Thailand. The Dutch GP's exit could remarkably coincide with Verstappen's own exit from the sport, after he was tipped to quit F1 if he manages to win a fifth drivers title.
