The Belgian GP will disappear from the calendar in 2028 and 2030, but will return

This extension will come into force from next season and will only include the 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031 seasons, it was clarified on Wednesday.

The desire of the premier motorsport series to increase the number of events per season, notably by presenting more races in the United States and Asia, means that there is more competition between the traditional European stops to preserve their place on the calendar.

The Spa-Francorchamps circuit, one of the favorites of many drivers due to its ultra-fluid layout located in the heart of the Ardennes forest, was present on the calendar from the first season of F1’s existence in 1950, and it has been there every season since 2007.

“The Belgian Grand Prix was one of the races that constituted our first championship in 1950, so, as we prepare to celebrate our 75th anniversary, it is fitting that we can announce this important contract extension,” he said. declared the president and CEO of F1, Stefano Domenicali, in a press release.

“Spa-Francorchamps is rightly loved by drivers and fans alike, as one of the most beautiful circuits in the world, and has hosted some incredible moments during its many seasons in Formula 1.”

The Belgian Grand Prix will take place from July 25 to 27, 2025, and will include a sprint race.
