BEIJING (AFP): Formula 1 has extended its contract with the Chinese Grand Prix until 2025, the organisation said Saturday (Nov 6), despite the race being dropped from its calendar for next year.

Covid-19 and China's strict travel restrictions prompted the cancellation of the Shanghai event in 2020 and this year. F1 has also not included the race on its 2022 schedule due to "ongoing pandemic conditions".
