'Spa-Francorchamps at risk of disappearing from the F1 calendar in 2023'

The Belgian Grand Prix might disappear from the Formula 1 calendar in 2023. There is still no contract for renewal after 2022. The circuit could become part of a rotation system with other Grands Prix.
The contract with the Spa-Francorchamps circuit expires this year. With the increasing interest of countries to organise a race in F1, several circuits run the risk of disappearing from the calendar. For weeks now rumour has it that the Belgian Grand Prix is in danger.
GP of Belgium is in danger
On Twitter Formula 1 expert Albert Fabrega reveals that the Spa-Francorchamps circuit may no longer be on the calendar in 2023. The circuit could become part of a rotation system in the future, meaning that a race will not be organised every year.

Spa could not be on 2023 calend and rotate in the future. There has been on the table a proposal to celebrate a non championship race with rookies
There have also been talks about a so-called non-championship race at Spa-Francorchamps in which only rookies will be involved. In the 50s, 60s and 70s these races were organised more often in F1 besides the official Grands Prix.
