SPA STAYS FOR 2023
Spa-Francorchamps will remain on the Formula 1 schedule in 2023 after a one-year contract extension was agreed for it hosting the Belgian
Grand Prix.
The popular track’s retention had been thought under threat as its deal was running out, F1 bosses were looking for facility and infrastructure upgrades at the venue, and new hosts such as South Africa and China were vying to join the calendar. However recent uncertainty over these incoming rounds has helped Spa get a reprieve.
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said on Sky Sports F1: “We have to congratulate the job [the race organisers] did. You’ve seen the investment they did. You see the number of people that are coming here. Incredible crowd, incredible attention to the people, and this is great.
“We always said that the race is a part of our tradition, and it has a very important space in our calendar, and this is a fact that we wanted to share in this moment.”
