Max Verstappen says he will continue racing at Circuit Zandvoort long after the Dutch Grand Prix exits Formula 1 following the 2026 edition. The Red Bull driver confirmed he expects to remain a regular presence at his home circuit, signalling that his relationship with the track will outlast its tenure on the world championship calendar. Verstappen's comments carry weight beyond nostalgia; they hint at a post-F1 racing career already taking shape in his mind, with Zandvoort remaining central to his plans. The Dutch Grand Prix will not return after next weekend's race, with organisers announcing in 2024 that rising costs and the European circuit rotation system made the event financially unsustainable beyond 2026. Zandvoort's brief modern F1 run, which began in 2021, was driven largely by Verstappen's rise to global prominence and delivered some of the most atmospheric race weekends of recent seasons. Verstappen acknowledged the significance of the moment but framed his final home grand prix as a beginning rather than an ending. "We've known for a while now that this will be the last Dutch Grand Prix. It's my home race, so I want to enjoy it enormously. Hopefully it goes a bit better on track than it did in Hungary," he said, referencing his difficult weekend at the Hungaroring. Circuit remains active beyond F1 Verstappen was quick to emphasise that Zandvoort's future extends well beyond Formula 1. "There will still be plenty of other racing classes running there. And if you want to go and drive yourself for a day, the circuit will obviously still exist. So I'll still get enjoyment out of it after Formula 1," he said. The remarks suggest Verstappen sees Zandvoort not just as a venue for nostalgia but as an active part of his racing life, whether through testing, sim racing validation,
