FIA President Backs Return of Argentina in F1 Calendar Verdict
Mohammed Ben Sulayem said Argentina needs investment, government support and a business plan as Formula 1 and World Rally Championship slots remain limited.
- On Tuesday, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem announced his support for Argentina's return to Formula One or the World Rally Championship following a meeting in Buenos Aires with Argentine President Javier Milei.
- Buenos Aires' Oscar and Juan Galvez Autodrome has been undergoing renovations since the start of the year to achieve Grade One status, a designation required to host a Formula One Grand Prix.
- Ben Sulayem emphasized that beyond emotional appeal, a successful bid requires a viable business plan and government support, noting the Formula One calendar has a limited number of slots.
- With Formula One limiting the season to 24 rounds, Stefano Domenicali stated competition from other countries makes securing a calendar slot a difficult challenge for Argentina.
- Argentina's interest in the sport has surged since the arrival of driver Franco Colapinto, though the nation has not hosted an Argentine Grand Prix since 1998, marking a 25-year absence.
