Several long-term contract deals have characterised the Formula 1 calendar of late, but what are the venues running on expiring deals in 2025 and how likely are they to remain?
In recent months, several venues with expiring contracts in 2025 have either secured long-term deals with F1 or negotiated an exit strategy. Monaco and Monza extended their contracts through 2031, while the Chinese GP secured a five-year extension through 2030 after returning in 2024. Zandvoort, however, will drop off the calendar after a one-year extension due to costs. The Belgian GP at Spa signed a new deal through 2031 on a rotational basis, with F1 racing there four times from 2026 to 2031. Mexico City, Imola, and Las Vegas are the three venues with expiring contracts for the upcoming season, with Mexico City’s future being the most uncertain. Despite uncertainties, Imola’s place on the calendar could also be under threat, but potential rotation of European races by F1 may offer a solution.
