Formula One’s new chief executive Stefano Domenicali has revealed all regarding the sport’s exciting plans for the future – including when Africa will return to the F1 map and his hopes for female drivers. When asked whether there will be a race in Africa over the next five years, the CEO admitted that there would be. However, there are now hopes Africa will host its very own race in the near future. Another topic Domenicali was quizzed on was whether he thinks the sport will see a female driver in the next 10 years, to which he simply replied: ‘That’s a big hope.’. It has been over 45 years since a female driver, Italian Lella Lombardi, last took part in an F1 race but Jamie Chadwick is among those who has big hopes for the future. Furthermore, Domenicali ruled out introducing two-day race weekends in the future during the brief Q&A.
