F1's 2026 calendar carries 24 races with wildly different contract security, and the American footprint tells the story. Las Vegas owns the longest active deal through 2037, Austin runs through 2034, while Miami's 10-year pact expires in 2031 — all three US races sit comfortably in F1's long-term plans. By contrast, Zandvoort bows out after 2026 on a one-year extension, having declined a European rotation slot. Portimao returns in 2027 on a modest two-year deal. The rotation model reshapes Europe: Spa stays through 2031 but sits out 2028 and 2030, while Barcelona splits time with Madrid, the new Spanish GP host locked in through 2035. Bahrain holds the longest current deal at 2036, Monaco extends to 2035, and Rwanda's African GP joins early in the 2030s on a 10-year agreement. For American fans, the Vegas-Austin-Miami trio isn't going anywhere — F1's bet on the States runs deep and long.
