F1时隔三十余年重返非洲：卢旺达签下十年协议，布盖塞拉新赛道2030年代初迎首赛
基加利——世界一级方程式锦标赛（F1）10月13日正式确认，已与卢旺达签下为期十年的协议，将在该国新建的布盖塞拉赛道举办非洲大奖赛。这将是F1自1993年南非大奖赛以来，时隔三十余年首次重返非洲大陆。
根据协议安排，首场比赛要等赛道建成之后举行，F1方面预计时间在2030年代初，目前尚未公布确切的首赛年份。新赛道为专门新建的永久性赛道，选址布盖塞拉地区，位于首都基加利以南约40公里（约25英里）、在建的基加利新国际机场旁，按国际汽联（FIA）最高的一级赛道标准建设。项目由卢旺达发展局牵头，定位不只是一条赛道，而是与新机场配套的体育、旅游与商业综合开发的一部分。F1与国际汽联将与主办方在赛道开发过程中合作，车手也会参与最终设计的咨询。
F1总裁兼首席执行官多梅尼卡利（Stefano Domenicali）在基加利的发布活动上把这项协议称为这项运动的一个里程碑时刻，并表示卢旺达加入赛历后，F1将在每一个有人居住的大洲办赛；他还表示，非洲一直是F1未来的一部分，关键是以正确的方式、与正确的伙伴回归，并形成长期投入。卢旺达总统卡加梅表示，这项合作意在为卢旺达带来就业、技能、旅游与商业机会。七届世界冠军汉密尔顿多年来一直呼吁F1在非洲设站，并曾公开支持卢旺达的申办计划。
卢旺达的申办之路走了近两年。2024年12月，卢旺达主办国际汽联大会期间，卡加梅正式宣布申办F1分站。此前数年，这个东非内陆国家已持续用体育塑造国家形象、吸引投资与游客：与阿森纳、巴黎圣日耳曼等足球俱乐部签有赞助合作，是NBA非洲篮球联赛的主要举办地，2025年还举办了公路自行车世界锦标赛。此次十年协议把这一体育战略推到最高层级，但外界也注意到，从效果图到一条真正达到一级标准的赛道，建设节点、资金与首赛日期都还有待后续公布，F1方面此次只确认了合同与目的地，没有给出施工时间表。
F1上一次在非洲办赛是1993年在南非卡亚拉米赛道举行的南非大奖赛。卢旺达站若按期落地，将成为三十多年来非洲大陆的第一场F1比赛。

Formula 1 Returns to Africa After Three Decades: Rwanda Signs 10-Year Deal, New Bugesera Circuit to Host First Race in Early 2030s
KIGALI — Formula 1 formally confirmed on October 13 that it has signed a 10-year agreement to stage an African Grand Prix in Rwanda, once a new purpose-built circuit at Bugesera is completed. It will be the championship's first race in Africa since the 1993 South African Grand Prix, a gap of more than three decades.
Under the deal, the first race will take place only after the circuit is finished, which Formula 1 expects to be early in the next decade; no inaugural year has been announced. The track will be built to the FIA's Grade 1 standard — the highest circuit classification, required to host Formula 1 — about 25 miles (40 km) south of the capital, Kigali, alongside the new Kigali International Airport now under development. Led by the Rwanda Development Board, the project is intended to anchor a larger sports, tourism and commercial development rather than serve a single race weekend, and drivers are expected to be consulted on the final design as the FIA works with Formula 1 and the promoters on the build.
Formula 1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali, announcing the agreement in Kigali alongside Rwandan President Paul Kagame and FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, called it a landmark moment for the sport, noting that with Rwanda on the calendar Formula 1 will race on every inhabited continent. He said Africa had always been part of Formula 1's future and that the championship had been determined to return with the right partner, a long-term commitment and a clear vision for local impact. Kagame said the partnership was intended to create jobs, skills, tourism and business over its life. Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has long called for an African race and backed Rwanda's bid in 2024.
The agreement caps a pursuit of nearly two years. Kagame formally announced the bid in December 2024, when Rwanda hosted a gathering of the FIA. In the years before that, the East African nation had steadily used sport to reshape its image and attract investment and visitors — sponsorship deals with football clubs including Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, a hub role for the NBA's Basketball Africa League, and hosting the road cycling world championships in 2025. The 10-year Formula 1 deal takes that strategy to its highest level, though circuit milestones, detailed weekend plans and a first race date all remain to be announced; the next test, as Formula 1 itself acknowledged, is turning the concept into a finished Grade 1 circuit.
Africa last hosted Formula 1 in 1993, when the South African Grand Prix was held at Kyalami, north of Johannesburg. If the Bugesera circuit is completed on the expected timetable, Rwanda will stage the continent's first Grand Prix in more than 30 years.
