Formula 1 has extended its contract with the Belgian Grand Prix, but the race will be dropped from the schedule in 2028 and 2030. The extension starting from next year includes races only in 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031. This could signal a wider trend of rotating between some European circuits year by year. F1's expansion with more races in the US and Asia has increased competition for traditional European venues.
Belgian Grand Prix - The Canadian PressLONDON — Formula 1 has extended its contract with the Belgian Grand Prix, but one of the sport's most established races is set to be dropped from the schedule in 2028 and 2030.
The Spa-Francorchamps circuit, a favorite with many drivers for its flowing high-speed layout through forested hills, was on the F1 schedule for the first championship season in 1950 and has been on the calendar every year since 2007. Spa-Francorchamps isn't the only historic European circuit which may stop being a yearly destination for F1.
