Spa-Francorchamps, the iconic host of the Belgian Grand Prix, looks set to remain on the calendar until at least 2021 after securing a new contract.

Belgium's race is in the final year of its existing deal and had been the subject of mounting speculation. On taking control of the sport at the start of 2017, Liberty Media had vowed to keep F1's historic venues on the calendar and Belgium's future was seen as an indicator of whether that would be the case.

This weekend, Belgian newspaper L'Echo reports that the Wallonian regional government has signed the deal with Liberty.
