Formula One President Stefano Domenicali affirms that the group is increasing appreciable efforts to reinstate a race in Africa.
This pursuit underscores the corporate’s dedication to international motorsport outreach and inclusion.
The continent final held an F1 occasion in 1993 at South Africa’s Kyalami circuit, a venue broadly touted as the favourite to play host if the collection returns to Africa. There is a rising need for that to occur.
Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton is amongst these to name for an African Grand Prix. At the identical time, critics level out that Africa is the one continent, Antarctica excluded, to not maintain a race.
F1 plans so as to add Africa to the schedule. However, Domenicali revealed loads of work behind the scenes.
“Africa is 100% still a continent that we are working very hard on,” he instructed Sky Sports. “As I at all times stated, we should discover the appropriate companions and middle-term plan.
“I want to avoid that we go there one year and then forget it. So we are working to find a solution for the best of the sport and the country’s best.”
F1’s rise in reputation has elevated the need from extra areas to carry a race, with big-money being supplied from the U.S. and the Far East, although that’s not a decisive issue within the eyes of Domenicali.
Neither is the historical past of venues, focusing as a substitute on the long-term improvement of F1.
“Today, the money is huge, but we need to protect the quality of the events and the sport,” he added.
“When ‘historical’ is only connected to looking behind, that is a problem. However, when ‘historical’ is a value, it’s great if you are focused on developing the sport for the future.”
“That’s our duty – to make sure that, for example, Monza, it’s an incredible place, but they need to make sure (they invest in) the future infrastructure, in services for the fans,” Domenicali added.
