Spa-Francorchamps axed from F1 Grand Prix schedule in 2028 and 2030 Formula One says the Belgian Grand Prix will be rotated from next year as the sport moves to introduce new races to the calendar.
Stefano Domenicali, F1’s chief executive, said: “The Belgian Grand Prix was one of the races that made up our maiden championship in 1950, so as we kick off our 75th anniversary year it is fitting that we can share the news of this important extension.
A record 24 races were staged last term and although the rules dictate that 25 races can be staged it is understood there is no intention from F1 to budge from the current number.
The Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort will exit the calendar after this season and the Belgian race’s current deal was due to expire this year.
Spa-Francorchamps is rightly lauded by drivers and fans alike as one of the finest race tracks in the world and it has played host to some incredible moments over its many seasons in Formula One.
