Hamilton says Africa GP hopes are motivating him to extend F1 career

Lewis Hamilton said Formula 1’s planned return to Africa has given him fresh motivation to prolong his career. Reports said he indicated he may stay in the sport longer, with one suggesting he could race until at least 45.

The prospect is linked to Rwanda’s target of hosting an African Grand Prix in 2032. Hamilton said he feels compelled to stay longer in order to race in Africa, a goal that multiple outlets described as a major wish of his.

Addressing concerns about holding a grand prix in Rwanda on human rights grounds, Hamilton said the issue should be approached with humility. His comments came as discussion continues over Formula 1’s potential return to the African continent.
