Formula 1 is in serious negotiations with Kyalami about taking the sport back to South Africa as it works to finalize its 2023 calendar. The last South African Grand Prix took place in 1993 at the circuit just north of Johannesburg, with F1 not having even raced on the African continent since then. Provisional talks had previously taken place about a return but RACER understands Stefano Domenicali will head to South Africa next week for further discussions. Next year is a possibility, but it’s more likely that South Africa would be added in 2024, giving a bit more time for preparations and calendar planning. However, Belgium could get a stay of execution if the Chinese Grand Prix doesn’t return to the calendar.
