FORMULA ONE has answered Lewis Hamilton’s call for a race in Africa, with Rwanda set to join the calendar in a move that has already sparked backlash.Seven-time world champion Hamilton has long since challenged F1 to return to the continent, with the last race staged there in 1993.And F1 confirmed a new 10-year deal with Rwanda today, which will start in the “early 2030s.”Under President Paul Kagame, Rwanda has sponsored major European football teams and developed a basketball partnership with the NBA, as well as hosting the world cycling championships.

Amnesty accuses Rwanda of using sport to polish its human rights record
