Which F1 races are at risk? Full breakdown of circuit contracts
Formula 1 witnessed the addition of another race track to the calendar with the return of the Algarve International Circuit in Portimao set for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
The return of the Portuguese track casts doubts over the continuity of some circuits on the current calendar.
But when do the current contracts of existing race tracks on the F1 calendar expire? Discover as we delve together into the contract lengths of the circuits.
Below is an overview of all current Formula 1 Grand Prix tracks and the duration of their contracts.
Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix: Imola: 2025
The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit in Imola will not feature on the F1 calendar from 2026. The iconic race track, which holds memories of some of the sport’s most tragic occurrences, returned to F1 during the COVID pandemic.
However, after failing to reach an extension with the sport’s organising body, the famed 4.909 km circuit will now again take its hiatus from the sport.
Barcelona and Zandvoort: 2026
Both race tracks in Barcelona and the Netherlands have their futures hanging in limbo, with both circuits having their contracts expire at the conclusion of the 2026 campaign.
The Dutch Grand Prix appears set in stone not to be continuing in F1, with the Portimao deal reported to be its replacement, while that of Barcelona appears with hopes of its continuity still in the balance, particularly with the addition of the Madrid Grand Prix.
Las Vegas: 2027
The Las Vegas Grand Prix is the only track on the F1 calendar with its contract expiring in 2027.
The iconic Nevada street race, which has continued to develop into the delight of many, recently got its deal extended from its initial 2025 date to 2027. However, it could see its continuity extend beyond its current duration, depending on the negotiations between the parties involved.
Singapore, Mexico and Portimao: 2028
The circuits in Singapore, Mexico and the recently announced Portimao have their existing contracts running until the 2028 season.
The race on the Marina streets will feature a sprint in 2026, while the Grand Prix in Mexico City recently signed a three-year extension in April.
Japanese Grand Prix: Suzuka: 2029
The iconic race track in Mie Prefecture appears secured for the foreseeable future, with its current contract expiring in 2029.
The circuit, which experienced a two-year hiatus from F1 in 2007 and 2008, penned a multi-year extension to remain on the F1 calendar in 2024.
Jeddah, Abu Dhabi, Brazil, China and Baku: 2030
Formula 1 will also continue its visits to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, China and Azerbaijan until 2030 at least, with all the circuits having their spots secured on the calendar for the foreseeable future.
The five circuits have treated fans to several fond memories since joining the calendar, with Brazil and Abu Dhabi over the years featuring championship deciders.
Monza and Spa: 2031
The race tracks in Italy and Belgium are expected to remain on the F1 calendar until 2031 at least.
However, for the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, it will feature on rotational appearances, as it will be absent from the calendar in 2028 and 2030.
Hungary and Qatar: 2032
Both the Hungaroring and the Lusail circuit also have their spots locked in on the F1 calendar until 2032 at least.
The Hungaroring, which featured on the sport’s calendar for the first time in 1986, witnessed an extension announced at a 2023 event.
The Qatar Grand Prix, which debuted in F1 in 2021, will also continue its spot after its 10-year deal announcement.
COTA and Silverstone: 2034
The Circuit of the Americas and Silverstone also signed long-term extensions to continue their appearances on the F1 calendar.
COTA witnessed its extension announced on the morning of the 2025 race, while the British Grand Prix signed a 10-year extension in 2024.
Madrid, Canada and Monaco: 2035
The Madrid Grand Prix, which will debut in F1 in 2026, is expected to stay on the calendar until at least the 2035 season, alongside the Canadian and Monaco Grands Prix, both of whose contract lengths were recently extended.
The Monaco Grand Prix, in particular, has over the years become famed for its highly important qualifying, which often foretells the outcome of the race on Sunday.
Bahrain: 2036
The race in Sakhir is one of the longest-running races on the F1 calendar, with its current extension until 2036 announced during the 2022 edition of the Grand Prix.
Australia: 2037
Formula 1 has visited Melbourne since 1996 and is certain to continue its visit until at least 2037.
The Albert Park race, which has been on the calendar since its debut, was omitted from the calendar in 2020 and 2021. However, the circuit, which has particularly hosted the first races of the F1 season, now appears poised to be one of the longest-running on the F1 calendar.
Miami and Austria: 2041
Formula 1 is certain to continue its appearances in Miami and Austria until 2041 at the very minimum.
Both race tracks, which stand out for their respective unique features, witnessed their extensions announced ahead of the commencement of the 2025 editions of their races.
