It’s race week again, and as you’d expect from us, time today will certainly be spent previewing Sunday’s racing. Additionally, other interesting news crossed our radar this morning. The FIA wants to hold a third Formula 1 race in America, in Las Vegas.
Of course, we’re all familiar with the Austin Grand Prix. Our Max managed to score a very important 25 points there last year. However, the popularity of Formula 1 remains relatively stable The land of freedom. The FIA’s solution to this is clear: organize more races in the United States.
Miami
This year the Miami Grand Prix will be on the program for the first time. The all-new circuit will be ridden for the first time under the Florida sun in May. The circle undulates around the NFL’s Hard Rock Stadium Miami Dolphins. The numerous technical corner sections promise to deliver the exciting Grand Prix racing we all look forward to.
Las vigas
According to a report from
Front office sports A third US Grand Prix will also be announced sometime in the coming weeks. Just like in Miami, this will be a street circuit, but this time in Las Vegas. When you hear it you probably immediately dream of Formula 1 cars on the Strip and past the famous fountains at the Bellagio Hotel. We can tell you a secret, according to
Front office sports Will this dream come true? The pedestrian bridges in Las Vegas will be used as exclusive places to watch the race. The race will likely take place in 2023. We already can’t wait!
Full schedule
We all know that Formula 1 is a traveling circus. But the teams’ strangely busy schedules threaten to get even busier. For example, at the beginning of the Max Verstappen era, there were still twenty races held annually. This year, there are already 23. And when we add the Las Vegas Grand Prix, we have already reached 24. Stefano Domenicali, CEO of Formula 1, said:
Sky Sports He expects to be able to expand further. “In addition to America and China, I believe there is also potential for our sport in Africa.” For example, the Kyalami Circuit in South Africa is currently being considered as a potential Grand Prix organizer. Domenicali then said he could imagine the sport’s popularity expanding to as many as thirty races a year. More fun for us, as long as it doesn’t come at the expense of racing quality of course…
