Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and George Russell Welcome Rwanda GP Rumours

What changed

Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and George Russell have welcomed speculation that Rwanda could host a Formula 1 race. Rwanda has not been confirmed for the calendar, and no circuit, date, contract or financial terms have been announced.

Why it matters

The reaction matters because it puts driver enthusiasm around a possible Rwanda Grand Prix into the story before any formal deal exists. For now, this is interest, not a race.

If Rwanda is eventually approved, Formula 1 would gain a new calendar venue. But that remains uncertain. The next meaningful signs would be formal approval and a scheduled date, rather than further speculation.
