Lewis Hamilton

South Africa has long desired to host the F1 Grand Prix again. According to the South African Citizen newspaper, if Sports, Arts, and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie succeeds, South Africa will host the F1 Grand Prix in the future.

Prior to the start of the season, Carlos Sainz was informed that Lewis Hamilton would replace him at Ferrari. Despite not having a team seat for the following season, Sainz has received offers from several teams.
