Lewis Hamilton talks of hosting a grand prix in Africa in the coming years
F1 has added newer locations such as Las Vegas to its racing calendar while inherently ignoring other nations. Lewis Hamilton has thereafter spoken on the need for a race to be held in the continent of Africa as well.
We can’t be adding races in other locations and continuing to ignore Africa, which the rest of the world just takes from. No one gives anything to Africa. There’s a huge amount of work that needs to be done there. I think a lot of the world that haven’t been there don’t realise how beautiful the place is, how vast it is. And probably they don’t even know what the countries are doing still to those places in terms of holding back.

Hamilton has urged Formula 1 to diversify its culture to unexplored countries and locations. The 39-year-old said the Grand Prix in Africa will be able to highlight its beauty and significance to the world as a whole.
Hamilton’s influence holds massive significance due to his popularity and success in the sport. He has used his reach to stand for pressing issues of racism and equality so far. The Brit now gears up for a new chapter at Ferrari in the closing stages of his career.
