Formula 1 are working towards a deal for South Africa to re-join the race calendar in 2023. 

F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali flew to South Africa directly from Baku following Sunday's Azerbaijan Grand Prix for talks with local stakeholders, though any formal agreement is likely to be weeks away.

The race would be held at Kyalami Grand Prix circuit, which hosted F1 until 1993.

F1 are working towards a record 24-race calendar for next year which includes a new street race in Las Vegas.

Sky Sports News understands that the Covid situation in China might mean only 23 events will take place in 2023.
