Dutch Grand Prix will be live and FREE on TV this weekend

F1 returns from its summer break this weekend as the final Dutch Grand Prix takes place at Zandvoort.

The coastal resort in the Netherlands will take centre stage for the last time in the foreseeable future as Max Verstappen's orange army of fans assemble again en masse.

There will be much rejoicing in the Verstappen ranks after the Dutchman signed a new Red Bull deal through to 2030 - and now he gets to celebrate it in his last home race.

Meanwhile Lewis Hamilton will resume his pursuit of championship leader - the brilliant teenage Italian Kimi Antonelli - with the gap currently standing at 50 points.

It should be a spectacular weekend of action, and a pivotal one in the title race. And there is great news for fans hoping to watch on TV in the shape of live, free-to-air coverage of all sessions.
