Formula One fans have to be patient as the 2026 season is on its summer break.

It returns later in August with the Dutch Grand Prix at the Mascot Circuit Zandvoort as an enthralling title race restarts with Kimi Antonelli at the top of the standings.

The Italian teenager could become the youngest world champion in the sport's history but there is still a long way to go and rivals are hot on his tail.

Kimi Antonelli's lead stands at 50 points after 11 races, with Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and fellow Mercedes driver George Russell trying to reel him in.

There is still more than half the 2026 season to go but if anyone is going to catch Antonelli, they'll need to start soon and a win at the Dutch Grand Prix would be the perfect start.
