汉密尔顿因非洲大奖赛希望“被迫”在F1停留更久
汉密尔顿开玩笑说，他可能会将自己的F1生涯延长到40多岁，以实现他在非洲赛车的梦想
对于法拉利的粉丝来说，这是激动人心的时刻，因为F1的最新消息、车手更新、技术分析和比赛反应从马拉内洛和其他地方传来
每当F1计划举办新的比赛时，总是一个令人兴奋的时刻，但法拉利的刘易斯·汉密尔顿对锦标赛将前往卢旺达并签署为期十年的非洲大奖赛协议的消息欣喜若狂。事实上，他非常兴奋，希望他能在适当的时候坚持下去并在那里参赛
比赛预计将在2030年代初举行，届时这位七届F1冠军将年近45岁。
在本周末的美国大奖赛前的新闻发布会上，与梅赛德斯车队的安东内利并排而坐的斯库德里亚车手被问及，这位年轻车手的首次冠军争夺战是否有什么让他感到惊讶。在赞扬安东内利后，他谈到了自己在赛道上的未来。
“我期待与他更长久的赛车生涯，我们将看看，我的意思是，我现在被迫不得不待得更久，因为我们有一场在非洲的比赛，那一直是我梦想的事情，能够在非洲赛车。”
安东内利回答道：“所以你得来。”
汉密尔顿补充道：“所以，是的，我的意思是，我必须继续努力，尽量保持健康，如果明年我还能打出好成绩，我们就会继续坚持下去。”
这不是安东内利第一次鼓励他。当第一次被问及卢旺达赛事时，汉密尔顿插话道：“你至少得完成第一圈。”
斯蒂法诺·多米尼卡利在卢旺达的非洲大奖赛宣布会上
汉密尔顿一直推动在非洲举办大奖赛，并表示他在幕后积极参与。
“我多年来一直倡导在非洲举办一场比赛，与利益相关者的无数次会议，与斯蒂法诺[多梅尼卡利，F1首席执行官]在伦敦办公室的无数次会议，还有比赛周末，无数的电话，发生了什么，我们走向何方，你正在与谁会面，与来自不同国家的不同总统的许多会议，与来自非洲不同国家的不同总统的许多电话。”
“对我来说，这是一个值得举办大奖赛的地方。这不仅仅是一个国家的事情。这是关于整个大陆本身，而且其中有很多美丽的国家，人们非常可爱。文化非常丰富，我认为向世界展示这一点很重要，我们可以通过我们的运动来实现这一点。”
“我们可以去所有这些不同的国家，人们会看到一些他们并不真正了解的国家，突然之间，它们出现在屏幕上，孩子们在谈论它们。他们去学校谈论它们，所以我非常、非常期待那场大奖赛。”
“F1自1993年在开普敦的凯亚马大奖赛以来就没有在非洲比赛过。如果你是汉密尔顿的粉丝，你会在卢旺达敲门的时希望他还在那里。”

Lewis Hamilton “forced to stay a lot longer” in F1 amid African Grand Prix hopes
Lewis Hamilton has joked he could extend his Formula 1 career into his mid-40s to fulfil his dream of racing in Africa
For Ferrari fans. The latest Scuderia Ferrari F1 news, driver updates, technical analysis and race reaction from Maranello and beyond.
It’s always an exciting time when Formula 1 plans a new race, but Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton is over the moon with the news that the championship is heading to Rwanda on a ten-year deal for an African Grand Prix. He’s so excited, in fact, that he’s hoping he can hold on and compete there when the time comes.
The race is expected to take place in the early 2030s, which would put the seven-time F1 champion in his mid-40s.
Sat beside Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli in the press conference ahead of this weekend’s United States Grand Prix, the Scuderia driver was asked whether anything had surprised him about the young driver’s first title fight. After praising Antonelli, he looked to his own future on the grid.
“I’m looking forward to racing with him longer and we’ll see about, I mean, I’m now forced to have to stay a lot longer because we have a race in Africa and that’s been my dream, to be able to race in Africa.”
Antonelli replied: “So you’ve got to come.”
Hamilton added: “So, yeah, I mean, I have to keep fighting to try and stay fit if I can, if I can still punch out good results over the next year, we’ll keep it going.”
It was not the first time Antonelli had urged him on. When Hamilton was first asked about the Rwanda race, the Mercedes driver interjected: “You got to do at least the first.”
Stefano Domenicali at African GP announcement in Rwanda
Hamilton has pushed for a grand prix in Africa for a long time, and said he had been heavily involved behind the scenes.
“I’ve been advocating for a race in Africa for many, many, many years, and countless meetings with the stakeholders, so many meetings with Stefano [Domenicali, F1 CEO] at his office in London, but also race weekends, countless calls, what’s happening, where are we going, who are you meeting with, many meetings with different presidents from different countries, lots of phone calls with different presidents from different countries within Africa.
“I think for me, it’s a place that deserves to have a grand prix. It’s more than just about one country. It’s about the continent in itself, and there’s so many beautiful countries within it, and the people are so lovely. The culture is so rich, and I think it’s important that we get to show that to the world, and we get to do that with our sport.
“We get to go to all these different countries, and people see some of these countries they didn’t really know too much about, and all of a sudden, it’s on the screen, and kids are talking about it. They go to school talking about it, and so I’m really, really hopeful for that grand prix.”
F1 has not raced in Africa since the 1993 South African Grand Prix at Kyalami. If you’re a Hamilton fan, you’ll be crossing your fingers he’s still there by the time Rwanda comes knocking.
