According to local reports, Srettha will meet with Stefano Domenicali, chief executive of the Formula One Group, at Government House on Monday to discuss the possibility of hosting F1 racing in the Thai capital.
Speaking to the newspaper Thansettakij, government spokesman Chai Watcharong said Formula One Group has expressed interest in bringing the F1 racing event to Thailand, adding that the race would either be on a racetrack or public roads.
“Basically, if F1 is going to be held in Thailand, we want it to be held on the roads – if possible, on Ratchadamnoen around Rattanakosin Island. We are currently working on the matter,” he said.
Chai also said that the beauty of Rattanakosin Island would be presented globally while the event is held, and this is in line with Srettha’s “Ignite Thailand Tourism” vision.
