F1 agrees deal for Japanese GP to stay at Suzuka until 2029
F1 has reached a new contract agreement with Suzuka Circuit, ensuring that the Japanese Grand Prix will continue to be held at the iconic track until at least 2029. This news comes as a relief to both drivers and fans who were concerned about the series deviating too far from its traditional venues. Previously, Suzuka was one of the few races without a guaranteed place on the calendar beyond this season, but now it joins other races with long-term contracts in place. While the new contract is not as extensive as some others, such as those for Australia and Bahrain, it is a significant extension from the track’s previous arrangement. This deal also reduces the likelihood of a proposed street event in Osaka taking place, as having two races in such close proximity would be unlikely. Overall, this agreement solidifies Suzuka’s place in the F1 calendar and allows fans to continue experiencing the excitement of racing at this historic circuit.
