Belgian Grand Prix will NOT be dropped from 2023 Formula One calendar after fears historic event could be lost… but chances of holding new race in South Africa diminish

The Belgian Grand Prix will remain on the Formula One calendar next year, the sport announced on Sunday after speculation the race at Spa-Francorchamps could be dropped. ‘Formula One can confirm that the Belgian Grand Prix will be on the 2023 calendar following an agreement to extend our partnership together,’ it said in a statement ahead of the 55th edition of the grand prix. Formula One chief executive Stefano Domenicali had cautioned this week that reports of the race’s demise might be premature. The 2022 Belgian Grand Prix is set to take place on Sunday and will see F1 Championship leaders Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc start from the back of the grid after their teams faced penalties following changes to the cars. Formula One is yet to publish a full 2023 calendar, which is expected to feature a record 24 races.
