DR Congo minister calls F1's planned Rwanda Grand Prix 'morally indefensible'
Original: F1’s African Grand Prix in Rwanda labelled ‘morally indefensible’ by DR Congo minister
A Democratic Republic of Congo minister has criticised Formula 1's planned African Grand Prix in Rwanda, calling the race 'morally indefensible'. The remarks come as F1 moves closer to staging its first African race in decades, with Rwanda among the candidate hosts. The criticism has reignited regional tensions between the two neighbouring countries.
Why now: Formula 1's plans to return to Africa with a Rwandan Grand Prix have drawn political objection from neighbouring DR Congo.
