While the season of Formula One, with the Belgian GP, restarted and, as it gets ever closer to the conclusion, Liberty media is ready to announce the calendar for the 2023 season, in which there is certainly no shortage of novelties.
Belgium stays!
Let's start with the certainties: in addition to the already renewed GPs, like Australia, yesterday the Formula One communicated that too the tracing of Spa Francorchamps will remain on the calendar until next season. They were gods months of great negotiations in this respect and, according to the latest, the postponement of the entry of South Africa paved the way for the permanence of one of the most loved tracks by Circus riders and beyond. Through a statement, F1 has announced the permanence of the Belgian GP:
"Formula 1 – reads the note – can confirm that the Belgian Grand Prix will form part of the 2023 calendar following an agreement to extend our collaboration. Further details on the 2023 calendar will be announced in due course."
Domenicali: “Did an excellent job”
In this regard, there was no shortage of statements by the CEO of Formula One, Stefano Sundays"We have to congratulate the work done by the organizers. You have seen the investment they have made. You see the number of people who come here. There's an incredible crowd, incredible attention to people, and I think that's good for the sport. We have always said that the race is part of our tradition and has a very important place in our calendar, and this is a fact that we wanted to share right now."
France says hello
It's not over yet. In fact, Domenicali himself, in an interview with L'Equipe, confirmed that next year the French Grand Prix will not be on the calendar. “There will be none GP in 2023“ – declared Domenicali, confirming that therefore the Paul ricard will miss next F1 season. However, it cannot be excluded that, from 2024, the Circus can return to France, perhaps a Nice. On this issue, however, Domenicali did not express himself clearly: “We are still discussing with the Federation and also with the government“.
