“Suzuka is a special circuit and part of the fabric of the sport, so I am delighted that F1 will continue to race there until at least 2029,” said F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali.

The Japanese Grand Prix will move to a new slot in April for the 2024 season, between races in Australia and China as the sport consolidates its calendar into more regional groupings.

“As we prepare to return to Japan earlier than usual this season, l would like to express my huge gratitude to the promoter and team at Honda MobilityLand for supporting our effort towards greater calendar rationalisation as we look to make the sport more sustainable.”

“Our fans in Japan embrace Formula 1 with a unique passion and we look forward to working with the promoter to give fans the experience they deserve for years to come.”

The 2024 Japanese Grand Prix takes place 5-7 April.
