Apparently the missing two years has been added to the contract so Canada is now contracted to have a GP until 2031 so there will be future GP's. Looking at the upside, the next GP will be with the new formula.
So... Formula... 2 ?

Hmmm... I’m not sure how I feel about it. Will it make the racing worse on Sunday if 3 or 4 cars crash out on Saturday? I think it’s a worthy experiment. I like that they are trying it in 3 races this year.
I'm wondering what's in it for the bottom teams, how much cash do they get? Not much point having all the extra expense if you are starting at the back of the sprint race just so you can start at the back of the GP.
Yeah, I was trying to think if I was Haas, would I bother running my cars at all in the Saturday sprint race?
Will we see Haas, Alfa and Williams do one lap and pit in the sprint race? If they don't think they will do any better than in Friday qualifying they might as well.
Except, they all voted to try this.... and I guess the same thing can be said of the regular qualifying session.... so maybe this will be a smashing success.
That's why I am wondering what's in it for them. The chances of them gaining points or grid position aren't very good so there must be enough cash involved to make it worth while. Hopefully it will spice up the weekend, Friday practice is usually pretty boring.
Maybe what's in it is the long-term growth of the sport so that it doesn't become boring? Maybe they are looking beyond "what's in it for my team right now"... but I dunno. It could also be that the F1 commercial rights holder threatened them with something too!
Interesting qualifying in Spain today. Should be a close race.Brundle mentioned track limits and the stupidity that can exist if they aren’t enforced. Here’s the example he was talking about:
