According to Formula 1, upgrades and improvements will be made to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya to meet "ambitious" sustainability goals.

"I want to thank to promoter and the authorities for their enthusiasm and commitment to keeping Formula 1 in Barcelona, with improvements that will be made to the track and facilities, and continuing our long history together."
