F1 extends Canadian Grand Prix through 2035 season

The Canadian Grand Prix will stay on the F1 calendar through at least 2035

Last week’s Canadian Grand Prix was the latest twist in a dramatic 2025 Formula 1 season, as George Russell stormed to the front of the field to capture his first win of the campaign while Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri’s clash in the closing stages left Norris without a front wing, and out of the race.

Now, the Canadian Grand Prix will remain on the calendar into its seventh decade on the schedule, thanks to a four-year extension announced Tuesday by F1. The extension will keep the Canadian Grand Prix on the schedule through at least the 2035 F1 season.

First appearing on the schedule in 1967, the Canadian Grand Prix is the longest-running race on the F1 calendar outside of Europe, and last week’s installment was the 54th edition of the Grand Prix. The race moved to Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, its current home, in 1978.

“As Formula 1 celebrates its 75th anniversary, it is fitting that we have announced an extension with the Canadian Grand Prix, a race that has such incredible history in our sport and is named after a true legend in Gilles Villeneuve,” said Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of F1, in a statement.

“Montréal is an incredible city, full of energy and passionate fans, and I am delighted to confirm that we will continue racing here through to the 2035 season and that our media rights deal with Bell Media is also extending in the long term.

“I would like to thank the promoter, Octane Racing Group, for their continued efforts in upgrading this iconic venue in recent years, and all local, regional, and national political stakeholders who have worked closely together to make this event what it is today,” added Domenicali. “I would also like to thank our incredible Canadian fans. I look forward to creating more unforgettable moments in Montréal with you over the next ten years.”

F1 returns to action next week with the Austrian Grand Prix.
