F1 in the United States is becoming clearer

La Formula 1 could make its return to the United States in the coming years, as there is a strong desire on both sides to organize such an event. During the last Chinese Grand Prix, we revealed to you that Tony George, owner of the Indianapolis circuit, was in the paddock and had lunch with Bernie Ecclestone, who wants F1 to return to American soil. Zak Brown, founder and director of the motorsport marketing company Just Marketing, which deals with various major partnerships, believes that a return of F1 to the USA is possible. “ Would Tony George like to find an agreement to re-establish a United States Grand Prix? For sure ", he told the Indianapolis Business Journal.

« Tony has a lot of contacts in motorsport, continues Zak Brown. He knows how to organize a Grand Prix in the United States. » If the desire to bring F1 back to the other side of the Atlantic is there, the Indianapolis circuit would not be the only possibility to accommodate the paddock. On the other hand, the establishment of partnerships is necessary for the organization of such an event at a time when the country is affected by the global economic crisis; This is where Zak Brown comes in.

« I think if Tony is going to play a role in bringing Formula 1 back to the United States, I would gladly help him, says Brown. Tony and Bernie get along well, and Tony has a great interest in seeing F1 return to the United States. » If Indianapolis appears to be an obvious solution for this return, Bernie Ecclestone has expressed on several occasions his desire to organize a race in New York. With the help of Tony George, Bernie's American dream could then take shape.
