Formula 1 only wants eight GPs in Europe

However, Wathelet signaled that there could be room for change in the future.

“It is not certain that there will be no GP in Belgium in 2028 and 2030,” he said. “The spirit of the agreement states that there will be at least 4 races. Maybe it will be up to another country, maybe Belgium.”

Financial Adjustments for Long-Term Stability

When asked if Spa Grand Prix had to pay a premium to retain its spot on the F1 calendar, Wathelet acknowledged that the franchise fee had increased but described it as manageable.

“The amount is higher from 2026, but it is an increase of 3 to 4 percent. We thought that was reasonable,” he said.

“It is a reasonable inflation, which we think we can recover.”

The organizer will need to attract more fans over the course of their weekend or boost ticket prices in the future to recoup not only the cost of inflation but also the deficit recorded in 2024, which follows the previous years losses.

Declining Government Support Amid Rising Returns

Despite 380,000 fans attending the three-day event in 2024, Spa Grand Prix’s bottom line is expected to take a hit estimated to be between 3 and 3.5 million euros
The Belgian Grand Prix has historically always been partially subsidized by the Walloon government. But Wathelet says the latter’s contribution declined last year.

“The intention is to limit that as much as possible,” he said.

“In recent years, their contribution has even decreased, while the return on investment for the region and the country has increased.

“So that seems to me to be a reasonable investment.”
