The 2023 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort will take place on Sunday, August 27, at 14:00 BST. It will be the 13th race in the 2023 Formula 1 season and is the first race on the calendar after Formula 1's traditional summer break. It's Max Verstappen's home race, so expect plenty of fans wearing orange in the stands throughout the weekend.

Verstappen and Red Bull Racing will be the favourites going into the race weekend because of their long streak of consecutive wins. They've also won both editions of the Dutch Grand Prix since the event returned in 2021. The Dutchman now has a 154-point lead in the World Championship, and it's already a question of when rather than if. Sergio Perez will be looking to find his qualifying form again as the pressure starts to mount. Meanwhile, Mercedes, Ferrari, Aston Martin and even McLaren will push to try and topple Red Bull's record run of wins.

When will the drivers be in action?

The Dutch Grand Prix weekend will see the traditional format of Formula 1. That means three practice sessions will be completed on Friday and Saturday. Qualifying will occur on Saturday afternoon, and the race will occur on Sunday, August 27, at 15:00 local time (14:00 BST). The weather forecast for these sessions is here.
