Below is an overview of all current Formula 1 grand prix deal and the duration of the contracts as of October 2023.
The Suzuka circuit has been on the Formula 1 calendar since 1987, with a two-year hiatus in 2007 and 2008. Last year the race extended its contract by three seasons until the end of 2024. Given the importance of the Japanese market and the challenging track, the GP seems safe for now.
The Formula 1 race at Silverstone is scheduled to run until at least the end of 2024. The new deal was signed in 2019 after long negotiations on the financial terms. Silverstone has a lot of historical value for Formula 1: the circuit was the setting for the very first F1 race counting towards the world championship, on 13 May 1950.
The contract for the Belgian Grand Prix at the iconic Spa circuit has been given rolling one-year extensions since 2022 because the race is under great pressure to update its facilities and the arrival of new countries that mean some old circuits may have to disappear. Spa is betting on more entertainment in the hope of saving the race.
Monaco will remain on the F1 grid until at least the 2025 season, having signed a new contract in September 2022. The future of the race had been in question, however the announcement means there will be at least three more races in the principality.
The Italian GP at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza added an additional year to its contract, signing with Formula 1 until the 2025 season. The complex has invested heavily in its facilities in recent years and will be further refurbished in the years to come. The race is very important for Ferrari.
The Mexican Grand Prix will remain on the calendar until at least the 2025 season, after the Mexico City race signed a contract extension shortly before its 2022 race.
The Formula 1 contract with the Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo runs through to 2025. The extension was agreed at the end of 2020. It was long rumoured that F1 would move to a brand new circuit in Rio de Janeiro, but that project was delayed.
The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola is on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2025. The Italian circuit returned to the schedule during the COVID-19 crisis and secured a multi-year contract. Flooding cancelled the 2023 event which could see its deal extended a year as a result but that is yet to be confirmed.
The Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Zandvoort had a contract until the end of 2023, with an option to extend the deal for another two years. Following an attendance of 305,000 people for the 2022 season, the extension until 2025 was announced in December 2022.
Although Formula 1 has not raced in China for three seasons now, the championship is firmly intent on returning to Shanghai after the COVID-19 pandemic. In November 2021, the contract was extended until 2025. China is an important market for Formula 1.
Formula 1 has wanted to return to Las Vegas for years and in November 2023 it will finally happen. The race will be held on a new street circuit, which will take the drivers along The Strip, among other places. Another special detail: the race will take place on Saturday night, prime time. The deal is initially for three years, but plans are in place to extend the contract to 10 years.
The street circuit in Baku has a contract until the end of 2026. Initially, the deal was to expire in 2023, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, racing was not possible in 2020. At the 2023 event a three-year contract extension was announced.
The Circuit of the Americas in Austin will host the Formula 1 race until at least the end of 2026. The deal was extended early 2022. F1 has become hugely popular in recent years, particularly through the Netflix hit series Drive to Survive.
