It would be a great place and a good deal, according to Lewis Hamilton of Las Vegas – who added that he very much hoped the next announcement would be South Africa, so Formula 1 would cover every continent.
At the Australian Grand Prix press conference, riders were asked about the latest Formula 1 attraction announced last week, the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which will take place in November 2023. It’s no surprise, of course, that everyone praised Liberty Media’s drag and said how pleased they are to be able to compete In the United States three times a year. On the other hand, Lewis Hamilton added one more thing: he is confident that the next new race will be on the African continent – the only continent missing from the calendar.
“It is amazing that we have broken a bridge in our relationship and they already run three races on a continent. I think it will be fantastic, it will be good for business as well, and Vegas will be a great addition to the calendar,” Hamilton said at a press conference with virtual participation from Formula.hu. I really want to see it really is South Africa. I want to hear that next time.”
The long-running South African Grand Prix was part of the World Cup 33 times, almost every year between 1962 and 1985, and after minor omissions in 1992 and 1993, almost every time in Kyalami. The father of the seven-time world champion, Anthony Hamilton, co-created the potential Cape Town race in mid-2010, which ultimately never materialized.
“We actually race on every other continent, so why not go here too. Ultimately my grandparents lived there, which is why that’s important to me personally. But it’s also important for the sport to have competition on every other continent,” Hamilton added. The race in Africa is a matter of heart.
After two places the Mercedes star would like to race, the press conference also touched upon the point in the world where Hamilton is known to go. After Saudi Arabia, he was asked about his views on competitions in the Middle East.
“We just knew that. I can’t add much to what I already said when I was there. Nothing has changed, everything is exactly the same. There will be discussions in the background about how to move forward and whether or not we need to go to certain places,” he replied. Hamilton diplomatically, but that decision I ultimately didn’t make.
