Formula 1 has announced an extension of its contract with the Belgian Grand Prix, securing races for the upcoming years but revealing that the event is set to be dropped from the schedule in 2028 and 2030. The extension will cover races in 2026, 2027, 2029, and 2031, as confirmed by F1 on Wednesday.
