F1’s non-executive chairman Chase Carey teased another exciting event in the United States, possibly held in the famous New York City, after the victory of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. In 2012, the Circuit of the Americas was established, signifying Formula One’s comeback to the United States.
Multiple races in a season were proposed as a result of the sport’s increased popularity after Netflix’s Drive to Survive became popular. Miami will host the first race of the season in 2022. The most luxurious race of the season so far, the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix opened a thrilling new chapter in the history of American Formula One.
Chase Carey and Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle had a heated exchange during a thrilling moment on the Las Vegas Grand Prix grid. They talked about their grand plan for races in other American cities, with Las Vegas being one of them. In the world of motorsport, Carey’s reminder brought attention to the strategic planning and vision for several places across the United States, signifying an ambitious undertaking.
“This is what it should be all about. We said early on, Vegas, Miami and New York, they’re the next cities we should be in, and Vegas delivered.” an article from sportskeeda.com mentioned.
Previously, F1 had declined to race in New York City
Interest was aroused by a recent proposal by Chase Carey to organize a race in New York City similar to one in Las Vegas. But conversations about this had already begun back in 2022, according to Greg Maffei, who revealed that the Eric Adams administration had begun to speak with Liberty Media about holding a race in the city. Unfortunately, there were a number of fundamental reasons why the proposal had to be rejected. The proposal’s complications highlight the many factors that need to be taken into account when introducing racing events to famous urban settings.
Maffei recommended Central Park as a fantastic location for the New York F1 Grand Prix. The park must be closed one week prior to the race in order to prepare the street circuit, which presents a hurdle. A major challenge is striking a balance between the needs of the race and public access to this historic site.
