Formula 1 will not return to the Netherlands until 2030.

      In August, the final Dutch Grand Prix will take place at the Zandvoort circuit, after which Formula 1 will leave this European country for an indefinite period. Zandvoort has given up its right to host World Championship events due to high costs, and another Dutch racetrack, the TT Circuit in Assen, is not ready to invest millions of euros to achieve the highest category that allows hosting Formula 1 events. "We have been made very clear that the chances of holding a Formula 1 race in Assen until 2030 are zero, and after that, they are extremely low," said TT Circuit director Mark Van Aalderen. "We would like to host a race, but let's be honest: we will never be able to recoup the millions that would need to be invested in upgrading the track. We would prefer to invest these millions in maintaining our track in a condition suitable for hosting MotoGP, because that will also require significant expenses in the coming years."
