Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Formula One boss Stefano Domenicali recently got a few engines revving in Mzansi after he told Sky Sports that South Africa is being lined-up as a potential new venue on an extended race calendar, and Hamilton has now endorsed such a plan.Interest in Formula One has skyrocketed recently and the increased demand among audiences may force organisers to put more dates in the diary for upcoming seasons.<\/p>\n

Domenicali said that a 30-race calendar could be considered for 2023 and beyond and those running the show are looking to add races in new regions and countries.<\/p>\n

A street venue in Las Vegas has already been confirmed as a new venue, while more races in China have been touted.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Kyalami circuit in Johannesburg remains firmly in contention.<\/p>\n

The 2022 season will comprise 22 races, down from the original 23 stops after the Russian Grand Prix was scrapped following that country\u2019s invasion of neighbours Ukraine.<\/p>\n

South Africa hasn\u2019t hosted a Formula One grand prix since 1993, an incredible 29 years ago this season.<\/p>\n

WATCH BELOW AS HAMILTON CALLS FOR SOUTH AFRICA TO BE ADDED TO THE F1 CALENDAR:The 1993 South African Grand Prix was held at Kyalami on 14 March 1993. It was the 33rd South African Grand Prix \u2013 and remains the most recent to have been staged on the African continent.<\/p>\n

It was the first race of the 1993 F1 season and was contested over 72 laps.<\/p>\n

The race was won from pole position by French legend Alain Prost driving a Williams-Renault.<\/p>\n

Prost\u2019s great rival, Brazilian Ayrton Senna, finished second in a McLaren-Ford, with Great Britain\u2019s Mark Blundell in a Ligier-Renault rounding out the podium.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, of the 26 starters, only five finished the race, although seven were classified.<\/p>\n

Runner-up Senna was the only driver that winner Prost did not lap \u2013 surely an all-time Formula One record!<\/p>\n
