Belgian Grand Prix set to secure new F1 contract
The Belgian Grand Prix has been confirmed to continue on the F1 calendar until 2025. This comes after concerns about the future of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, which faced competition from a bid to bring back the South African Grand Prix. The contract extension for the Belgian race was secured after the bid for the South African race fell through. The Spa-Francorchamps circuit has faced safety concerns over the past decade, especially at the Eau Rouge and Raidillon corners. The circuit has made changes to improve safety, but it remains a challenging track for drivers. The popularity and success of Max Verstappen, a three-time World Champion, have also contributed to the event’s continued presence in F1.
