Formula 1 Extends Chinese Grand Prix Contract Through 2030

The Shanghai International Circuit will remain a key part of the F1 calendar following a five-year deal announced ahead of the 2024 season finale.

The Chinese Grand Prix has secured a five-year contract extension, keeping it on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2030.
Shanghai returned to the F1 schedule in 2024 after a four-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Max Verstappen winning both the sprint and main race.
The Chinese GP will move to an earlier slot in the 2025 season, taking place as the second race of the year from March 21 to 23, and will feature the season's first sprint event.
F1's growing popularity in China is evident, with a reported fanbase of over 150 million, half of whom have joined in the past four years, including a significant number of women.
Zhou Guanyu, China's first F1 driver and a major draw at the 2024 race, will not be on the grid next year after being dropped by Sauber.
