This Sunday, Formula 1 will hold the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix, on a special day because it will mark the category’s final race at the Zandvoort circuit.

The main attraction of the race will be the battle for the top positions, but also the possibility that Franco Colapinto can move up from 14th on the grid. The Argentine Alpine driver is coming off a 12th-place finish in the Sprint race and will look to make a comeback on a track where overtaking is not easy.

Colapinto faces the challenge of coming back through the field

The Argentine driver will take on the main race after a Saturday in which he managed to close the gap to teammate Pierre Gasly, despite not having the new updates that Alpine added to the Frenchman’s car.

Colapinto finished 12th in the Sprint and then qualified 14th. Gasly, meanwhile, will start 11th.

The Argentine’s performance was praised by Steve Nielsen, Alpine director, who highlighted that Colapinto managed to get the maximum possible performance out of the car he had available.

Attention will now turn to the start, one of the main strengths Colapinto has shown throughout the season. From 14th place, the Argentine will look to make the most of the opening meters to gain positions and get himself into the fight for points.

The Dutch GP will also be Zandvoort’s farewell to the Formula 1 calendar. After this edition, the Dutch circuit will no longer be part of the championship.
