    And who says the same can’t be true of Rwanda?

    Would you fly thousands of miles to do business in Rwanda and enjoy a F1 weekend?

    Further, does Rwanda have a fan base that will buy F1 tickets year after year to keep the stands full? Because, South Africa didn’t.

    In the end, it’s all about prestige for these countries who have to foot the bill. Is Rwanda better served spending all that money on something else like it’s people?

      Why does F1 weekends have to do with business? We’ve been to about half a dozen races and not had to carry a laptop to any of them. We just, you know, enjoyed the racing 🤷. And the race hasn’t even started yet but you’re writing it off, what’s with that? Even if you did go for business, surely is highly dependent on the business in question? Are you speaking for all businesses when you say they won’t go?

      That’s up to them, not a random internet commentator. 🫠🤣
