Formula One racing has arrived in the Netherlands this weekend for the Dutch Grand Prix. The race will take place on Sunday at Circuit Park Zandvoort, getting underway at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN2. It will be available for live streaming at WatchESPN.

The day prior, qualifying will determine pole position and the rest of the starting grid for the race. Qualifying gets underway at 9 a.m. on Saturday and will last a little over an hour. The first qualifying period runs 18 minutes and will see all 20 cars attempting to secure a top 15 time. The five slowest drivers will be eliminated and placed in P16-20 of the starting grid. The 15 remaining drivers run for 15 minutes in the second qualifying period, with the five slowest getting eliminated and placed in P11-15. The final ten drivers then run for ten minutes to determine the top ten order.

Max Verstappen is the defending champ and a heavy favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook to continue his win streak. He is -450 to win and the next closest is Sergio Pérez at +1000.
