Discussions for the return of an F1 African grand prix are reportedly taking place in governments across the continent, according to Italian-Swiss banker…
Christopher Aleo, the founder of iSwiss financial group, is reportedly in discussions with various African governments about bringing back an F1 African Grand Prix. Africa has only seen races in South Africa and Morocco in the past, with Morocco hosting just one race in 1958. Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton has been advocating for Africa’s F1 return, pointing out that it is the only inhabited continent without F1 races. Plans to bring F1 back to Africa are underway, with talks of potential races in Rwanda and South Africa, though track upgrades are needed to meet FIA standards. Despite challenges, Aleo is committed to making the project a reality, with several African governments involved in negotiations. Potential host countries for the African Grand Prix include Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria, and Tanzania, showing a growing interest in expanding F1’s presence in the continent.
