In an interview with L'Equipe, Formula 1 boss Stefano Domenicali revealed that the city of Nice was working on a grand prix project.

Historically, France is an important motorsport nation.

It's great because it proves that other destinations in your country are interested in F1”

Back on the Castellet circuit since 2018, the French Grand Prix has not yet been renewed on the calendar beyond 2022. “

We are going to look at the files and study them carefully.

There are other things that could happen very soon.

All I can tell you is that by the end of July you will know more about the future of your Grand Prix”

, continues Domenicali.

After a first edition marked by major traffic problems to access the Paul-Ricard, the organizers had rectified the situation for the following GPs.

While the Spanish event was marked by serious traffic jam problems last month in Barcelona, ​​the progress of the French event will be scrutinized on the weekend of July 24.

His future depends in part on it.

This year, each Grand Prix will be sold out, on traditional tracks but also on new circuits.

This impressive flow of spectators implies an additional effort on the part of the promoters to smooth traffic and manage this influx,

warned the former Ferrari manager

.

But basically, I would say that it's a nice problem, a nice phenomenon to manage.

If people come, it's because we offer more to the public: racing but also attractions, music, events.

From morning to night."

Domenicali also indicated that the number of events per season should stabilize "

at 23 or 24

".

A return of Formula 1 to South Africa is being considered.

We are a World Championship and Africa for the moment has no place.

That must change.

The discussions are progressing and I think we will have an answer quickly.

And to have a race there while Lewis Hamilton is still racing would be great.
