Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Formula One boss Stefano Domenicali arrived in South Africa on Monday for talks that could see the country\u2019s Kyalami circuit return to the grand prix calendar next year for the first time since 1993.<\/p>\n

A Formula One spokesman confirmed Domenicali flew to South Africa after Sunday\u2019s Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.<\/p>\n

The former Ferrari team boss, who took over at the helm of Formula One last year, will meet representatives of the circuit north of Johannesburg with the sport keen to do a deal.<\/p>\n

Africa is the only continent other than Antarctica without a Formula One race and Domenicali, who represents commercial rights holders Liberty Media, has spoken of his desire to rectify that. Chloe Targett-Adams, Formula One\u2019s global director of race promotion, told a CSM-hosted webinar last week that Africa was a big strategic aim.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the only continent we\u2019re not in, it\u2019s an unbelievable demographic in population and one that we\u2019re very keen to bring more into the Formula One world,\u201d she said. \u201cSo that\u2019s very much in our sights.\u201d<\/p>\n

South Africa was a regular round of the championship until 1985, when some teams and sponsors boycotted the race due to the country\u2019s apartheid system of racial segregation. The sport returned to Kyalami in 1992 and 1993 after apartheid had ended and Nelson Mandela, later to become the country\u2019s first Black head of state, was released from prison.<\/p>\n

Mercedes\u2019 seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton, the sport\u2019s only Black driver, has also pushed for the return of an African race with his father Anthony involved at one point in a Cape Town project.<\/p>\n

Financing a race deal has always been the ultimate stumbling block, however. Talk has intensified recently of Kyalami returning on what would be a record calendar of 24 races next season, if China\u2019s race in Shanghai is also re-instated after an absence due to Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Formula One has already announced a new race in Las Vegas for 2023, joining US rounds in Miami and Austin, while Qatar starts a new 10-year cycle after dropping off this year\u2019s calendar due to the football World Cup.<\/p>\n

Some European races, notably France\u2019s round at Le Castellet, could miss out. A provisional calendar could be published by the August break.<\/p>\n
