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.
