Formula One boss Stefano Domenicali
According to reports, the South African Grand Prix is increasingly likely to be included in the schedule beginning upcoming season. Stefano Domenicali, the president of Formula One, is expected to visit the country soon to finalise provisions with the organisation.
Involvement in the motor racing category has grown significantly as a result of last season’s dramatic championship race between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. As a result, several countries, including South Africa’s circuit, are contemplating hosting a Grand Prix weekend.
This country organised a yearly Formula One race from 1962 to 1993, but the sport did not come back. Introducing the South African Grand Prix to the motor sport itinerary for next season would mean that the sport would be available on all continents once more.

More about the possible new race on the Formula One calendar
The motorsport returned in Kyalami in 1992, after the conflict and racial discrimination had ceased, but only seemed to last one year before the Grand Prix was withdrawn from the F1 calendar yet again.
It could come back 30 years later, with the 2.8-mile circuit north of Johannesburg anticipated to be the arena once more. When Domenicali goes to visit next week, track owner Toby Venter and chief executive Tom Hamilton would be available.
According to the bulletin, the French Grand Prix would be slumped to allow way on the calendar, with F1 limiting the number of races in Europe to make the sport more international. The destiny of legendary races in Belgium and Monaco is also dubious, and they may substitute years down the line.
