The Max Verstappen Grandstand for the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix has sold out before the season has begun.

With tickets still available for the Belgian and Austrian grands prix, fans of the four-time champion still have the opportunity to come together in one of his grandstands at those events.

The Max Verstappen Grandstand sits on the right of the last turn, offering views of the starting grid at the Hungaroring. It also features numbered seats and views of a TV screen, as well as the track.

The four-time champion has celebrated two grand prix wins at the circuit, joining others with the same number of wins, including his partner's father, Nelson Piquet, Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen, Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel.

The 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix will take place from 24-26 July. Verstappen will be racing with the No. 3 for the upcoming season after losing No. 1 to 2025 drivers' champion Lando Norris.

“It won't be number 33. My favourite number has always been 3, apart from number 1. We can now swap, so it’ll be number 3,” Verstappen revealed in his end-of-year interview on Viaplay.

“Number 33 was always fine, but I just like one 3 better than two. I always said it represented double luck, but I've already had my luck in Formula 1.”

The Dutchman concluded private testing in Barcelona this week before pre-season testing in Bahrain, which will run from 11-13 February and again from 18-20 February.

“So much work has gone into over the last few years; and then to see the engine going into the car, and especially on the first day, also immediately to do so many laps, was great to see. I think there were a lot of emotional faces in the garage," Verstappen said after the Barcelona shakedown.

The 2026 season will officially start with the Australian Grand Prix on 6-8 March.
