A taster of what could be on offer should F1 end its three-decade wait.
Red Bull recently demonstrated what a potential return of Formula 1 to South Africa might entail, marking the continuation of a thirty-year hiatus from the continent. The last F1 race held in South Africa was in 1993 at the renowned Kyalami circuit located north of Johannesburg. Despite multiple past efforts to revive the event, none have come to fruition. Red Bull, known for their innovative approach, circumvented bureaucratic obstacles to showcase an F1 car on the 4.529km long circuit, with David Coulthard, a thirteen-time grand prix champion, at the helm of the RB7. Coulthard expressed his exhilaration, stating that driving the RB7 at Kyalami was an indelible experience, underscoring South Africa’s readiness to re-join the F1 calendar. Red Bull emphasized their dedication to bringing F1 closer to global fans and invigorating South Africa’s motorsport aspirations through a cinematic portrayal of F1’s potential future on the African continent.
