Lewis Hamilton nears ‘biggest dream’ as FIA trigger ‘defining’ moment

Lewis Hamilton’s ‘biggest dream’ in F1 has edged even closer after the FIA approved a major change in what could be a defining moment for the future of the sport.

However, Hamilton has expressed that F1 cannot be a global championship until the African continent is represented on the calendar, previously naming a grand prix in the region as his ‘biggest dream’.

In a recent development, that dream is a little closer to coming true after the FIA approved construction at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in South Africa – 32 years since F1 last raced at the track.

Will F1 return to Africa?

However, South Africa is not the only nation on the continent that has expressed interest on joining the F1 calendar, with Rwanda also launching an official bid last year.
