Monaco agrees extension to host F1 until 2031

Monaco will continue to host Formula 1 races until at least 2031 after a new six-year deal was agreed.

One of the sport's most iconic and prestigious races, the Monaco Grand Prix first took place in 1950 and has been an ever-present in the calendar since 1955.

There have been doubts about its future, however, because of questions regarding the suitability of the principality's narrow streets for racing modern F1 cars, plus concerns over finances and other issues.
