Lewis Hamilton hopes to extend his Formula One career into the early 2030s to compete in the African Grand Prix in Rwanda. The 41-year-old seven-time world champion has made racing in Africa a personal ambition.
F1 confirmed last week that Rwanda would host the event under a 10-year agreement, with the opening race planned for the early 2030s. A purpose-built circuit is planned in Bugesera, 25 miles south of Kigali, but construction has yet to take place.
The event would bring Formula One back to Africa for the first time since the 1993 race at Kyalami in South Africa. Hamilton said he supported holding the race in Rwanda despite criticism of the country's human rights record.
