Lewis Hamilton aims to extend career till early 2030s so he can race in African Grand Prix

41-year-old set on ‘dream to be able to race in Africa’ Rwanda to host despite criticism of human rights record Lewis Hamilton has said he hopes to remain racing in Formula One until he can take part in the African Grand Prix which is set to take place in Rwanda in the 2030s , with the seven-time world champion also stating he believes it is right that F1 is to hold a race there despite criticism of the country’s human rights record. Last week F1 confirmed Rwanda was to host the African Grand Prix having concluded a 10-year agreement for the meeting on a purpose-built circuit, with the first race set for the early 2030s. It is lined up to be held on a circuit in Bugesera, 25 miles south of the capital, Kigali, which has yet to be constructed and marks a return to the African continent for the first time since it last held a race at Kyalami, South Africa in 1993.
