years.

The announcement was made by F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone just before the
fifth round of the World Championship on Sunday.

"We have extended our contract with our friends in Barcelona and we are here
for at least six or seven years," said Ecclestone.

"I know the teams are delighted with the decision for us to continue here."

Local government representatives said the contract had been signed for the Circuit de Catalunya to host the race until 2006.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

The teams may be delighted but I don't think the viewers are. It's been the dullest GP for a long time and overtaking is virtually impossible. This years GP was the most exciting GP in Catalunya since '96 though.
