ANKARA (AA) - Formula One will remain in Australia's Melbourne for the next 13 years, organizers said early Thursday.

"The Australian Grand Prix will be on the F1 race calendar until at least 2035 in Melbourne!" Formula One said on Twitter.

"I am delighted to confirm that Melbourne and the Albert Park circuit will continue to be on the Formula 1 calendar until 2035. The race has always been a favourite for the fans, drivers and the teams and Melbourne is an incredible and vibrant international city that is a perfect match for our sport," Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali said.

Melbourne's Albert Park has hosted the Australian Grand Prix since 1996.

The race was held in Australia's Adelaide before.

The 2020 and 2021 Australian Grands Prix were previously canceled for the coronavirus pandemic.

The 2022 Australian Grand Prix was run in April as Ferrari's Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc won it.
