Rwanda has signed a 10-year deal to host the first F1 races in Africa since 1993. The event - to be called the African Grand Prix - will be held on a new, purpose-built circuit in Bugesera, 25 miles south of the capital Kigali and next to the city's new international airport. We speak to people involved in F1 across the continent.
