Tremayne says Africa should have its own F1 Grand Prix

F1 journalist David Tremayne argues that Africa should have a Grand Prix of its own, pointing to the continent’s sheer size. He says the thought came to him last Monday while he was writing at Singapore’s Changi Airport and comparing Africa with Australia on a world map.

His recollection goes back to the South African Grand Prix, which he says used to open the F1 season and was a key, highly popular race on the calendar. When the race was held at Kyalami, Tremayne recalls, drivers and team personnel spent time together at Kyalami Ranch after a day of pre-season testing.
