How is it possible for Rwanda to even contemplate an F1 Grand Prix race? News24 Sport contributor Egmont Sippel wonders.

Rwanda, I hear, is suddenly in the mix as a possible venue for hosting a F1 Grand Prix.

I'm not sure how to deal with this titbit.

Antarctica is not a destination that springs to mind if you're after a tropical island holiday. You won't ever fly off to Reykjavk to catch a good tan. And Ulaanbaatar ain't in the business of providing high jinks, Hollywood style. So, why a Grand Prix race in Rwanda? On the face of it, the fit is as disjointed as any of the above.

Mmmm. It's a question for the FIA and Liberty Media, of course. Plus, the Rwandan government. They're three of the five main stakeholders in a show commonly known as the F1 circus.
