The Australian Grand Prix has extended its race contract for a further two years, keeping the race in Melbourne until at least 2025.
It has become F1's traditional season opener, hosting the first race of the season every year since 1996 apart from 2006 and 2010.
The Australian Grand Prix Corporation already had a deal in place to keep the race until 2023 but has now extended it through to the end of the 2025 season. In recent years, stories circulated that the race could move to either Sydney or Adelaide, but the new deal ensures it will remain in Melbourne.
