Athletistic / Formula 1 South African Automobile Federation president Anton Ru has blamed the South African Grand Prix for not being included in the Formula 1 calendar for 2023.

“The reason is that the local promoter appointed by Formula 1 was unable to provide financial guarantees. This is not the fault of Formula 1, the FIA ​​or the local federation. “It’s not to blame either. We just need another local promoter, but I have no doubt that in 2024 we can hold the Grand Prix.

We need to create more sports heroes for our children, this will be a huge benefit for South African motorsport. Guys will understand this by seeing Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. We need to create traction, suction for them”, – quote the words of Ru PlanetF1.
