Formula One has not been in Africa since 1993, but it seems like that may change as soon as next season.
According to multiple reports, F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali flew from Baku, which hosted the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday, to South Africa to discuss a possible return. The sport used to compete in Kyalami between 1967 and ’85, and returned for consecutive years—’92 and ’93.
The city is north of Johannesburg, and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has been one of the vocal supporters of returning to the country. It’s the only remaining continent without a Formula One race.
