Italian Grand Prix to remain on F1 calendar until 2031

The Italian Grand Prix will remain on the Formula One calendar until at least 2031 after a six-year extension was announced.

Monza has hosted a grand prix since the inaugural world championship in 1950.

"Monza is at the very heart of Formula 1 history and the atmosphere each year is unique as the 'tifosi' (fans) gather in huge numbers to cheer on Ferrari and the drivers," F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT).

"The recent upgrades to the circuit's infrastructure and the planned investment show a strong commitment to the long-term future of Formula 1 in Italy."

Charles Leclerc secured Ferrari a rare win at Monza on September 1.

Next year's edition is scheduled for September 5-7.
