Hamilton Says He Could Keep Going Now that African Race Is Planned
- On Thursday, Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton welcomed Formula One's decision to return to Africa, though he acknowledged reservations regarding the host nation, Rwanda.
- Formula One announced a 10-year agreement last week to race in Rwanda starting in the early 2030s, prompting Amnesty International UK head of campaigns Felix Jakens to label the deal a "sportswashing prize."
- Hamilton revealed that the prospect of racing in Africa could extend his career until at least 2031, stating, "I'm now forced to stay a lot longer because we have a race in Africa."
- Democratic Republic of Congo Foreign Affairs Minister Therese Kayikwamba Wagner alleged that giving Rwanda President Paul Kagame this platform helps "polish the image of an authoritarian leader" who supports M23 rebels.
- Hamilton emphasized that visiting the continent does not mean ignoring local issues, urging people to educate themselves on history while calling for peace in Congo, Sudan, Syria, and Palestine.
