Schedule for the 2021 F1 Dutch Grand Prix

It's one of the most highly anticipated races of the year, as the Formula 1 World Championship returns to the Netherlands for the first time in 35 years.

All eyes will be on local hero Max Verstappen, as the Dutch driver comes home as an F1 title contender, with action taking place at the historic Zandvoort circuit on the sandy coastline.

It's an old-school venue with an old-school feel, but this circuit has been modernised and tweaked to ensure a fast blast through the dunes and a unique challenge for the drivers through some heavily banked corners.

Media duties for the drivers and teams will take place on Thursday, before two hours of practice time on Friday spread out over the morning and afternoon. These hour-long sessions will allow the drivers to learn the track, as many have raced at Zandvoort before.

There will be another hour-long practice session on Saturday morning, before qualifying takes place on Saturday afternoon.

Then, on Sunday, the Dutch Grand Prix will be held in the afternoon.
