Formula 1 (F1) is a global sport, and competes across five continents. While a race in Antarctica would likely produce even more red flags than the last race in Australia, questions are naturally being asked about a Grand Prix in Africa, with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton among those who have called for the sport to return to South Africa’s Kyalami circuit.
Asked whether there is work being done on a race taking place in Africa, F1 president Stefano Domenicali : “100 percent, Africa is still a continent that we are working very hard.
“As I always said, we need to find the right partners, the right middle-term plan.” There were reports talks have taken place over a Grand Prix in South Africa, which last hosted a race 30 years ago, but Domenicali stressed his focus on creating a long-term event in the continent.
“What I want to avoid is that we go there one year and then forget it. We are working, trying to find a solution for the best of the sport, for the best of the country,” he said. Skysports
