LondoncTypeface:> Formula One has announced that the Belgian Grand Prix will be rotated from next year as the sport’s bosses move to introduce new races to the calendar. The contract extension deal means the fixture at Spa-Francorchamps - which is among the most recognisable in F1 - will be omitted from the schedule in 2028 and 2030, while being staged in 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031. Its current deal was due to expire this year. F1’s decision will free up room for new venues to be introduced - with Thailand, Argentina, Rwanda and a second race in Saudi Arabia all vying for spots on the schedule. It could also see the current races in Imola and Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya rotated in the seasons to come. Both races are in danger, with a street round in Madrid due to be introduced next year. (PA Media/DPA)
