Teenager Kimi Antonelli will be looking to extend his lead at the top of the drivers’ standings as the F1 season gets back underway this weekend with the Dutch Grand Prix.
The Mercedes star comes into the weekend’s action 50 points clear at the top of the rankings ahead of Ferrari veteran Lewis Hamilton, with George Russell close behind in third.
Sunday’s race marks the swan song for the old-school Circuit Zandvoort, with the Dutch Grand Prix set to be omitted from next year’s F1 calendar due to financial concerns.
The Dutch Grand Prix takes place at the Circuit Zandvoort on Sunday, Aug. 23, at 3 p.m. CET. That makes it a 9 a.m. ET or 6 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and for viewers in the UK, it’s 2 p.m. BST. Meanwhile, Australian F1 fans are looking at an 11 p.m. AEST start on Sunday night.
