F1 fans, get your raincoats ready. The Dutch Grand Prix is about to make its dramatic exit from the calendar, and Mother Nature might have one last twist in store at Zandvoort today.
This afternoon marks round 12 of the 2026 F1 season, but it’s not just any race. The iconic coastal track is hosting its final Grand Prix before being dropped from the schedule starting in 2027. That means Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, and the rest of the grid are taking their last laps around the 2.
646-mile circuit.
The big question is whether the weather will cooperate. After a wet Friday and Saturday, Sunday kicked off with rain hitting the track just 45 minutes before the start. A light drizzle followed as the shower moved through, leaving fans guessing.
According to the latest forecasts, the chance of rain during the actual race is low. At lights out, set for 3:00 PM local time, the likelihood of precipitation sits at just four percent. But don’t put away your umbrellas just yet.
The threat jumps to 14 percent by 4:00 PM and climbs to 30 percent by 5:00 PM, especially if there are any delays. Weather at Zandvoort can shift faster than a pit stop, so everyone is keeping an eye on the sky.
Could a late shower spice up this farewell race and change the championship standings?
