Formula 1 CEO Stefano Dom🌼enicali paid a visit to Thailand on Tue🌸sday to discuss plans for an inaugural grand prix on the streets of Bangkok.

Following last weekend’s season opener in Australia, Domenicali travell﷽ed to Thailand to meet the country’s prime minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and hear about the Asian country’s ambitions to stage an F1 race for the first time.

F1’s popularity has been booming under current owner Liberty Media, with several countries lining up to join the cal♑endar.

The series already has a packed schedule with 24 events, but Dutch GP’s impending departure after 2026 and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:addition of the Belgian GP to the ꧂rotation system has created room for more races.

“I was delighted to meet with Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the Prime Minister of Thailand, and her team today to discuss their 🐟impressive plans to host a race in Bangkok,” said Domenicali.

“I am looking forward to continuing our discussions in the weeks and months ahead✱.”

There has been growing interest from Thailand to host an F1 race in recent years, with talks about a maiden race in capital Bangkok intensifying in the last few months✤.

The proposed race would take place on a temporary stꦉreet circuit, as opposed to a ✃purpose-built venue.

Bangkok recently hosted MotoGP’s inaugural season launch in Februaꦰry, which was similar in nature to F1’s own event at the O2 Arena in London.

Thailand also hosts a MotoGP race every year on the permanent Chang International Circuit in Buriram, but doubts have been cast about the event’s future ahead of the final year of the contr🔜act in 2026.

Local media reported earlier this month that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Thailꦕand's contract with Dorna won't be renewed,🥃 citing circuit’s chairman Newin Chidchob, who claimed that he had been iꦓnformed by the Sports Authority of Thailand that 2026 would be the last year of the Buriram race.
