Spanish GP gets one-year renewal for 2020 F1 race

Formula One's plans for an unprecedented 22-race calendar are taking shape, with the Spanish Grand Prix confirming a one-year extension to host another race in 2020.

This year's race at the Circuit de Catalunya, located north of Barcelona, was at the time expected to be the last with the return of Zandvoort's Dutch Grand Prix being lined up to start the European season. However, circuit chiefs were confident of keeping the race for another year as it retained local government support.

That extension has now been confirmed, although the ordering of races remains unclear at this stage.
