Stulot – It was confirmed on Monday that South Africa would not host a Formula One race in 2023, after reports that the Belgian Grand Prix will continue to be on the Formula One (F1) schedule the following year.

In place of Belgium, where the current F1 stop is located, there had been rumors that South Africa might host an event for the first time in 30 years. However, the 2023 schedule, which was released on Sunday, indicated that the Rainbow Nation would not be added to the calendar.

SA Grand Prix CEO Warren Scheckter said to BusinessLIVE: “I have seen some of the stories that have been released, with most of the material being inaccurate. There won’t be a 2023 South African Grand Prix, but I’m not free to provide more details.

In a statement released before the 55th running of the race, Formula One said: “Formula One can announce that the Belgian Grand Prix will be on the 2023 calendar after an agreement to prolong our collaboration together.”

This week, Stefano Domenicali, the CEO of Formula One, issued a warning that speculation about the race’s fate would be hasty.

While Spa will return, it seemed as if there would be no race at the Kyalami circuit in South Africa.

The entire 2023 Formula One calendar, which is anticipated to have a record 24 events, has not yet been released. There are 22 rounds in this year’s competition.

The sport said that “more information on the 2023 schedule will be provided in due time.”
