Monza will remain on the Formula 1 calendar for five more years

The Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix will stay on the F1 calendar until at least 2024 as a five-year deal has been agreed between the Automobile Club of Italy and Formula One Management.

The deal comes before Monza hosts the 70th Italian GP on the weekend of September 6-8. 

“A general agreement has been reached between ACI and @ F1 on the economic aspects of the collaboration contract for the F1 GP at Monza until 2024,” tweeted ACI president President Angel Sticchi Damiani.

The deal has, however, not been signed yet as the ACI will continue to negotiate with F1.
