The Grand Prix of Catalonia will renew the contract with both Liberty Media and Dorna, in order to stay for other seasons in Formula 1 and MotoGP. The Catalan government has authorized the Circuit de Catalunya (owned by the same executive) to sign contracts until 2026. This is what is learned from the words of the spokesman of the Catalan government Patricia Plaja in a press conference.
El Govern decided to renovate the contract of promotion of the Fórmula 1 and the GP de motociclisme.

However, the renewal of the contract is bound by changes to the circuit that embrace sustainability, technological innovation and the link with the territory. “Another Circuit de Catalunya is possible and this is what the government will do. The renewal of these contracts will allow the start of a transition period towards a new circuit“, Explained Plaja. How many and what changes? Still uncertain to say. The fact is that in all probability we will see Montmeló for another five seasons. The circuit has faced financial difficulties in recent years (critical issues exacerbated by the Coronavirus) and has often been criticized for the very limited possibility of overtaking, especially with modern Formula 1 cars.
