The Race was among a select group of media to get a first look at Rwanda's new African GP F1 circuit. Here's what we learned from that visit

Some big elevation changes from the sounds of it. Natural ones, not like that stupid thing being built in Saudi.

F1 doesn't want to cancel too early and look like cowards, so they will likely hold on for two more weeks before making a decision.

Agree on the two weeks, but disagree on the reason; they'll be hoping the championships are won before they have to make a decision, because if they'd cancelled the last few races in the last three weeks or so Kimi would be given the title automatically and that would look bad () so we have this silly will-they-won't-they situation until at least the driver's championship is decided.

It's lucky for F1 that Kimi and Mercedes are having the season they're having because both titles should be done when the chequered flag falls in São Paulo. After that they can call off the Middle Eastern rounds without looking like a war decided the championship.

And we are both wrong. F1 has decided they will hold races in both Qatar and Abu Dhabi to end the season.
