Spa gets Belgian Grand Prix extension

The Belgian Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar until 2025 after signing a one-year contract extension.

The race at Spa-Francorchamps has faced an uncertain future for a number of years and still lacks a long-term deal, but has made recent investments in infrastructure and changes to the track for safety purposes. F1 CEO Stefano Domencali suggests more focus on the track itself is required for a further extension but welcomed the work done so far.

“Spa is synonymous with Formula 1 having been one of the circuits in our first ever season and is much-loved by fans and drivers alike, so I am delighted to extend our relationship with them until 2025,” Domenicali said.

“The promoter has taken big strides in the last few years to improve the fan experience and infrastructure, and work is ongoing between all the stakeholders with a clear focus on delivering safe and exciting racing. I would like to thank the promoter and the Government of Wallonia for their continued support.”
