Lewis Hamilton nears ‘biggest dream’ as FIA trigger ‘defining’ moment
Lewis Hamilton’s ‘biggest dream’ in F1, to have a race in Africa, has moved closer to reality following the FIA’s approval of construction at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in South Africa – 32 years after F1 last raced there.
F1’s global growth has garnered interest from fans, cities, and nations seeking to host their own race weekends, leading to unprecedented excitement for the sport.
South Africa’s Kyalami circuit is set to receive necessary upgrades to meet Grade 1 status requirements, with hopes to host an F1 race as early as 2027 or 2028.
This development marks a significant moment for South African motorsport, as the FIA’s approval signals progress towards reintroducing an African grand prix for the first time since 1993.
