The Dragon, even if it is not seen, is there. China will remain in Formula 1 until at least 2025, thanks to an agreement that the Circus made official on the Italian night. It will still be Shanghai the designated track, hoping that the Coronavirus pandemic will allow the Asian giant to welcome Formula 1, unlike what happened in 2020, in 2021 and what will happen in 2022 (China is in fact out of the official calendar a few days ago).
This is the full press release: “Formula 1 is delighted to announce the extension of the contract with the Chinese Grand Prix until 2025. Although it has not been possible to include China in the 2022 calendar due to the ongoing pandemic, we are very happy with this new agreement which ensures Chinese fans to have their Formula 1 race in the next few years.
Stephen Sundays, president and CEO of Formula 1: “This is great news for all our fans in China, we are happy to announce this agreement which will see us racing in Shanghai until 2025. Our partnership with promoter Juss Sports is very strong and we can’t wait to continue it. While we all regret not having a Grand Prix in this country even in 2022, China will be reintroduced to the calendar as soon as conditions allow: we can’t wait to get back to racing in front of this crowd as soon as possible.“”.
