Spa signs new race Belgian Grand Prix until 2021

The future of the Belgian Grand Prix has been secured until the end of 2021 after F1 signed a new contract with Spa Grand Prix.

The race takes place on one of the calendar's most fearsome and impressive circuits -- Spa-Francorchamps -- and its current contract was due to expire after this year's event. The news means the popular race will remain on the F1 calendar for at least another three seasons.

F1's owners Liberty Media have stated their commitment to retaining grands prix in the sport's European heartland and a press release outlined the importance of the circuit to F1.
