How does F1 choose new hosts?

Formula 1's expansion often involves a mix of factors. Existing circuits like South Africa's Kyalami need upgrades to meet modern F1 standards, while new locations such as Rwanda might build entirely new tracks. Governments, like Thailand's, often play a big role, investing significant money to bring the prestigious races to their countries, hoping for economic benefits and global exposure.
