F1 sources said on Monday that Formula One could return to South Africa next season after a hiatus of more than 30 years.

Formula One chief executive Stefano Domenicali is visiting the country and the Kyalami circuit north of Johannesburg this week.

It hosted races between 1967 and 1985 before disappearing from the calendar due to the apartheid regime.

Sources said there is no agreement or confirmation yet that a race will be held in the rainbow nation.

Earlier this season, F1 announced that a Grand Prix would be held in Las Vegas next year, while races in France and Belgium are yet to be confirmed.

Organizers are planning a record 24 races next year, but that includes a race in China where the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the Shanghai race being canceled every year since 2020.
