Domenicali on Verstappen and Zandvoort's final GP

Formula1.com reported Stefano Domenicali discussed Max Verstappen and Zandvoort’s final Dutch GP weekend, while BBC Sport outlined a 2026 fallback plan.

Formula1.com reported that Formula 1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali spoke during Zandvoort’s final weekend on the calendar about Max Verstappen’s deal and the circuit’s last Dutch Grand Prix on the schedule. With the details still emerging, those points remain reported rather than formally expanded on in the supplied sources.

Verstappen is a four-time world champion and sits sixth in the 2026 drivers' championship on 112 points. Across his Formula 1 career from 2015 to 2026, the Dutch driver has made 242 starts, with 71 wins, 51 poles and 129 podiums.

Separately, BBC Sport reported that Domenicali said the 2026 season would end in Europe if the conflict in the Middle East made it impossible to stage the planned final races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi. That was presented as a contingency, not a confirmed change to the calendar.
