Silverstone agrees deal to keep F1 British GP until 2034
Silverstone will continue to host Formula 1 races until at least 2034, as the circuit recently signed a ten-year extension deal, bringing it in line with other events that have secured long-term agreements. The news was shared on social media with the statement “TEN. MORE. YEARS. We’re delighted to announce Silverstone will remain on the F1 calendar until at least 2034!”, and featured video contributions from local F1 drivers George Russell and Lando Norris. This extension comes after the confirmation that the Japanese Grand Prix will stay at Suzuka until 2029, making Silverstone the last race with a deal expiring in 2024. The continuity of the agreement provides stability for the circuit and the BRDC, allowing them to focus on investing in infrastructure, knowing that their main event is secured. Other races with long-term deals include Austria and Saudi Arabia until 2030, Canada until 2031, Hungary and Qatar until 2032, Australia, Madrid, and Abu Dhabi until 2035, and Bahrain until 2036.
