Formula One fans could be treated to the sight of Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton roaring around the steamy streets of Bangkok, with Thailand keen to host a race. Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin hosted F1 boss Stefano Domenicali on Monday to pitch the government’s vision of bringing a Grand Prix to the sprawling, traffic-clogged Thai capital. 

No timeframe or detailed plans have been announced, but Thai officials told local media they envisage the race being run on a street circuit, possibly around the city’s historic centre. “Thailand has the capacity to host Formula One in Bangkok,” Srettha posted on X, after meeting Domenicali.
