The Monaco Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2035, following the signing of a four-year contract extension.<\/p>\n
Monaco\u2019s previous deal ran until 2031 following numerous organizational changes, and the iconic street race has now further extended that to cover the next decade. The deal brings it in line with both Canada and Madrid\u2019s new race that are also set to run until 2035, while only Bahrain (2036), Melbourne (2037), Miami and Austria (2041) have longer deals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe streets of Monaco have been echoing with the sound of Formula 1 since the earliest days of the sport, so I\u2019m delighted to announce the extension of this fantastic event to 2035,\u201d F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said. “It is an iconic race that is loved by all drivers and fans, with a unique vibe thanks to its location on the world\u2019s most glamorous Principality. I would like to say a special thank you to His Serene Highness, Prince Albert II of Monaco, Michel Boeri, President of the Automobile Club of Monaco and everyone involved in securing the long-term future of this historic partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both Monaco and F1 are intrinsically linked, with the race having been held on 71 occasions \u2013 behind only Monza as a venue \u2013 and Prince Albert II says it is an event that is a part of its identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe renewal of the Monaco Grand Prix until 2035 is in keeping with a sporting and historical tradition to which the Principality remains deeply attached,\u201d Prince Albert II said. \u201cI can only welcome this renewed commitment, which is testament to our collective success, the excellence of our collaboration with Formula 1, and the unique place that Monaco occupies in the international motorsport landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n
Monaco\u2019s previous extension moved the race date to early June to allow more regionalization of the calendar, starting next year when the Canadian Grand Prix will follow Miami.<\/p>\n
The extension means there are now 16 of the current 24 venues with confirmed deals into the 2030s, with potential new races in Thailand and South Africa \u2013 among other countries \u2013 showing an interest in joining the calendar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Monaco Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2035, following the signing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[1687,372,6537,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-116613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-f1","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
