ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — The Chinese Grand Prix will stay on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2030 following a contract extension. The deal was struck even though F1's first Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu is without a race seat next year. F1's previous contract to race at the Shanghai International Circuit had been due to run out next year. In a statement announcing the extension, F1 claimed a "fanbase" of 150 million people in China and said most had started to follow F1 in the last four years.
