The Australian Grand Prix will remain in Melbourne until at least 2037 with a new deal to be the season-opening race on at least four occasions and Saudi Arabia will kick off the 2024 campaign, the Victoria state government said.

The deal for a further two years at Albert Park follows a 10-year extension announced in June.

“Part of the deal will see Melbourne host the first race of the Formula One season for at least four years between 2023 and 2037,” the government said in a statement.

It added that Saudi Arabia would host the 2024 opener “out of respect for Ramadan”.

Australian Grand Prix Corporation chief executive Andrew Westacott said he will stand down after next year’s race, which is scheduled from March 30-April 2.
