F1 in talks over potential new race in Asia - report

Formula 1 is seemingly eager to expand its presence in Asia with the injection of a new race in the region, according to a report. After five years, the Chinese Grand Prix returned to the schedule last weekend with Max Verstappen emerging victorious. While in the area, RacigNews365 can confirm that F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali will visit two other Asian countries this week to discuss the possibility of a new event. One of the touted options is Thailand, which has voiced its desire to bring F1 to the country going forward. “Basically, if F1 is going to be held in Thailand, we want it to be held on the roads – if possible, on Ratchadamnoen around Rattanakosin Island,” government spokesperson Chai Watcharong told Thansettakij.
