Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has met with Formula One executives and visited the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari racetrack in Bologna, Italy, calling the tour a strategic exploration into the possibility of hosting a Formula One race in Bangkok.
Formula One, known for organizing the prestigious FIA Formula One World Championship, conducts the series annually over approximately nine months. The 2024 season features 24 races in 21 countries on five continents, demonstrating its global appeal and extensive reach.
The Thai government is evaluating the feasibility of bringing this high-profile sporting event to Bangkok, seeking to leverage it as a catalyst for economic growth, community benefits, and youth engagement. Hosting a Formula One race aligns with Thailand’s broader goals to enhance its international tourism appeal and solidify its status as a key player in hosting major international events. (NNT)
