F1 Dutch Grand Prix LIVE! Race stream, latest news, updates, TV, weather and starting grid today
The 2023 Formula One season resumes this afternoon in the Netherlands as runaway title leader Max Verstappen continues to attempts to make F1 history. Another victory in his homeland at Zandvoort will see the Dutchman equal the consecutive win record of nine, currently held by Sebastien Vettel.
The Red Bull driver is again on pole, for the third year running, for this race, and is joined on the front row by Lando Norris. Mercedes’ George Russell is in third, but Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton struggled during qualifying and lines up in P13. Verstappenās Red Bull partner, Sergio Perez, is in seventh.
It will be lights out on the 14th grand prix of the season at 2pm BST. Can anyone spoil the Orange army party? Well, with rain on the weather forecast, it may not be plain sailing for Max. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sportās dedicated race stream!

Race prediction
Max Verstappen wins.
Weather forecast
It looks likely to be another wet race in Zandvoort this afternoon, at least initially.
Rain is currently scheduled in the hour leading up to lights out and there has been a warning issued for possible thunderstorms, but the sun should come out and stay out, albeit with cloud cover, from thereon.
Zandvoort, in nothern Holland, is situated on the coast so perenially windy on its best days. But that should help dry the track once the rain subsides.
It gives the drivers a decision to make on tyres. Perhaps intermediates are the answer from the off.
