F1 finally returns after the summer break for round 15 and the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort.

The 2025 iteration of the Dutch GP will be the penultimate year F1 races in the Netherlands, with Zandvoort choosing not to extend their deal beyond 2026.

Max Verstappen will be supported by a home crowd clad in orange, as he tries to salvage what has been a miserable season with Red Bull.

The champion has been largely outpaced by both McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in 2025, with the Australian possessing a nine point advantage over the Brit heading into the Dutch GP.

Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton will be praying that the second half of the season with Ferrari materialises better than the first half, as he looks towards building a competitive car for 2026 with the Scuderia.

Here is how you can watch the 2025 Dutch GP from wherever you are and for free in select locations!
