South Africa's Formula One fans must wait longer for the sport's return as the country grapples with meeting the necessary standards to host a Grand Prix.
Initial hopes for a 2027 race have been postponed due to underestimation of requirements, prompting a focus on a potential event in 2028 or 2029.
The Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, with efforts to achieve FIA Grade 1 certification, remains the favored location for a potential South African Formula One race.
Renewed calls to include Africa on the Formula One calendar have been made by current drivers like Lewis Hamilton, emphasizing the continent's absence from the racing schedule.
The last South African Grand Prix took place at Kyalami in 1993, with legendary drivers like Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna participating in the historic event.
