The Italian Grand Prix at Monza will remain on the Formula 1 schedule until at least 2031.

Monza, the oldest track on the calendar, has signed a six-year extension to its existing deal.

The move comes after modernisation works were completed at the track, the oldest on the calendar, in time for this year's Italian GP.

Angelo Sticchi Damiani, the president of the Automobile Club d'Italia, said: "Monza is the oldest racetrack in the world to host a race of the World Championship, and it is also the longest-running event on the World Championship calendar.

Monza first held the Italian Grand Prix in 1922 and it has staged the race every year since the F1 world championship started in 1950, other than in 1980, when the track was closed for renovations.
