Formula 1 have delivered a major announcement after a highly popular British event was confirmed to be coming to an end in 2025.

Reigning champion Max Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive driver's victory in 2024, cementing his status as the most successful Dutch F1 driver of all time and helping to substantially grow the sport's popularity in the Netherlands.

Despite the Dutchman's domination of the sport since he triumphed against Lewis Hamilton to claim his maiden title in 2021, the future of F1 in the Netherlands was thrown into jeopardy after a disappointing announcement regarding his home grand prix.

Shortly after Verstappen claimed the 2024 title at the Las Vegas GP last year, F1 confirmed that the promoter of the Dutch GP had taken the decision to not remain on the calendar.

A one-year extension was confirmed for 2025 but the event will no longer feature on the ever-growing race calendar from 2026 onwards.

Just two months after Verstappen fans were dealt the major blow however, the award-winning F1 Exhibition has announced that its next European destination will be the capital city of the Netherlands - Amsterdam.
