'Formula 1 almost has next new Grand Prix in'

There is a growing likelihood that the South African Grand Prix will be on the programme from next season, reports the Daily Mail. Formula One boss Stefano Domenicali will reportedly travel to the country soon to finalize arrangements with the organization.

Partly due to last season's championship battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, interest in the motorsport class has increased considerably. Several countries are therefore considering bringing in a GP weekend, including the circuit in South Africa.

Between 1962 and 1993, this country hosted an annual Formula One race, but then the sport did not return. Adding the GP of South Africa to the racing calendar for next season would mean that the sport can once again be found on all continents.

Bad news for GP of France and Belgium

Since the calendar is already quite full, it is quite possible that Formula 1 will remove another circuit from the program. For example, the races in Belgium and France would be nominated not to return. Other circuits would also be under pressure, so it remains to be seen for the time being.
