The Belgian Grand Prix will remain on the F1 calendar until at least 2021 after Formula 1 and the Spa GP signed an extension Wednesday.

“We are really pleased to have reached this agreement which means that the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix will stay on the calendar for a further three years,” said F1 business development official Chloe Targett-Adams.

“Formula 1 was born in Europe and the future of this sport needs to maintain its solid roots, while expanding globally and Spa-Francorchamps is part of that fantastic history.” 

Pierre Yves-Jeholet, minister for the economy in the Wallonia region, added: “This is a good deal which makes sure that such an important event stays in our region, thus placing us on a global visibility platform.”

The 2018 Belgian Grand Prix will take place on August 24-26.  – Agence France-Presse
