If you have a child who was born this year, they will be 14 years old when the Bahrain contract is renegotiated.
It is a major extension that Formula 1 has just announced today by reaching an agreement with the Bahrain International Circuit to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix every year until 2036 inclusive.
On the calendar since 2004, Bahrain was one of the major events of the special season linked to Covid-19 in 2020 by hosting two consecutive races. Starting from this 2022 season, the organizers have announced that they will use 100% renewable resources to make the Grand Prix happen.
It is the first time that a contract is signed for such a long term with a circuit. The average duration of an extension being between 5 and 10 years, but the available slots on the calendar are becoming increasingly rare and the number of contenders is growing with the revival of Formula 1 and the increasing number of spectators and fans worldwide.
