And recently, the seven-time world champion stated he believes it’s ‘important’ for F1 to include Africa in its race calendar, considering every other continent hosts at least one race. Hamilton added that he wants to take to the track in the home of his ancestors and once again stressed his hope that it’s the next new race announced.
“I think it’s important for the sport to go there,” Hamilton explained last month. “If they’re in every other continent, why not? The one I really, really want to see is South Africa. That’s the one I want to hear next that gets announced. Ultimately, my ancestors are from there – so that’s why it’s important for me personally.”
