Italian Grand Prix

Venue: Monza Dates: 5-7 September Race start: 14:00 BST on Sunday

The Monaco Grand Prix has extended its contract with Formula 1 until at least 2035.

The sport’s glamorous poster race, which was first held in 1929 on a street circuit that remains largely unchanged for a century, is one of F1’s most historic and iconic events.

The new contract amounts to a four-year extension of Monaco’s existing deal, which ran until 2031.

“I can only welcome this renewed commitment, which is testament to our collective success, the excellence of our collaboration with Formula 1, and the unique place that Monaco occupies in the international motorsport landscape.”

F1 chairman Stefano Domenicali said: “The streets of Monaco have been echoing with the sound of Formula 1 since the earliest days of the sport, so I’m delighted to announce the extension of this fantastic event to 2035.
