Sir Frank Williams says he would like to see a Formula One race hosted in Qatar in the not-too-distant future.
At present, Qatar hosts a round of the MotoGP Championship, the season-opener, however, the Middle Eastern country is keen to join the Formula One fraternity.
And one team boss who would support the country's arrival is Williams, whose F1 team has a technology centre in Qatar.
"I would love to see a race in Qatar because of our involvement here," he told the Gulf Times.
"In my humble opinion, the Losail circuit is admirably suited for an F1 race."
Williams also revealed that he's in favour of the F1 calendar being extended beyond next year's 20 grands prix.
"I would love to see more races, but I don't think we could ever have more than 22 without compromising the preparations and driver safety."
