Formula One has announced a record long contract with the Miami Grand Prix until at least the 2041 season.
The 10-year extension, with the previous deal expiring in 2031, was announced on Friday ahead of the 2025 event starting at Miami Gardens.
It is now F1’s longest current contract with a grand prix, with Australia the nearest now with a deal until 2037.
Miami was only added to the calendar in 2022 after a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic. It also hosts the second sprint race of the season this weekend.
F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali said: “In just three years, the Miami Grand Prix has established itself as one of the most important and spectacular events on our calendar, an extraordinary example of quality and vision that truly represents the spirit and ambition of Formula 1 in the United States.
“Extending this agreement until 2041 is a strategic milestone of enormous importance, which strengthens our presence in America and consolidates the ever-deepening bond with our fan base there, which is constantly growing and passionate like never before.
“Miami is not only an extraordinary city, but also a truly global sporting hub, energetic, dynamic and culturally vibrant.”
