The BBC has reported that the Italian Grand Prix is set to remain on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2024. It is thought that the contract has been agreed but is yet to be signed. 

An F1 statement said it had reached an "agreement in principle for a new five-year deal" and it hoped to reach an agreement "as soon as possible".

Race organisers Italian Automobile Club (ACI) said it had agreed the "economic aspects of the contract" as quoted by BBC Sport. 

Formula 1 fans will be pleased with this news as it sees the longest serving Formula 1 circuit stay in the sport for 5 more years. 

The British, Spanish, German and Mexican Grands Prix's are all yet to confirm their futures in the sport but it is encouraging that a track has had a positive agreement with the current F1 owners. 

The future Formula 1 calendar could look a little different to what it does now but having the history of the Italian Grand Prix involved can only be a positive.
