What happened: Formula One World Championship Limited finalized a 10-year agreement with Rwanda to host a Grand Prix. The 10-year Rwanda deal brings the series back to Africa beginning in the early 2030s.

Why it matters: Securing a long-term African host completes Formula 1's global calendar expansion across inhabited continents. A decade-long commitment provides the runway needed for venue construction and infrastructure development ahead of the inaugural race.

What to watch: Circuit construction timelines and an official debut season on the early-2030s calendar remain to be scheduled.
