Despite rumors in recent years pointing to a possible farewell, The Spa-Francorchamps circuit will continue to host the Belgian Formula 1 Grand Prix until at least 2025. The Belgian route is one of the classics on the calendar and Already in 1950, the first season in history, it hosted a GP. After several years as a successor to Zolder, Spa has been the constant choice since 1985.
But the value of a mythical circuit seems to have no effect in terms of continuity and its continuation has been the subject of rumors for a few days, as has happened with other classics such as Monza. For this reason, its renewals take place annually and not in multi-year contracts as seen in cases such as Bahrain or Australia.
“Spa is synonymous with Formula 1was one of the circuits of our first season and is very much loved by fans and drivers, so I am delighted to extend our relationship with them until 2025. The promoter has taken great steps in recent years to improve fan experience and infrastructure, and the work is carried out between all stakeholders with a clear focus on delivering a safe and exciting race,” Domenicalli commented in the statement.
Spa-Francorchamps is the longest circuit in the World Championship with a length of 7km and the record for victories is held by Michael Schumacher with six wins. In recent years, the circuit has undergone a transformation where the seating capacity has been increased with 10,000 more seats. Something key to forging renewal.
