Return from a Grand Prix in the USA?

After returning to the United States between 2000 and 2007, the Formula 1 has abandoned the USA again but, according to Nick Craw, that should not last long. For the President of the FIA ​​Senate, interviewed by Speed ​​TV, however, we should not count on a return of F1 to Indianapolis. “ I think everyone, from the commercial rights holders to the teams and sponsors, sees the absence of the US Grand Prix as a huge responsibility. There is only one circuit in the United States that has a license to organize such a race, and that is Indianapolis. And there probably won't be a deal with them in the near future. »

Therefore, the most plausible option is a Grand Prix on a non-permanent street circuit, such as Valencia, Monaco and Singapore. Bernie Ecclestone has already spoken of his interest in the economic capital of the United States, New York. “ We are also trying to organize a Grand Prix in New York », Commented the big financier of F1 at the beginning of October. Nick Craw confirms that this option is the most likely, particularly due to the economic context. “ I don't see a budget to do a circuit in the United States so I think we are moving towards establishing a temporary urban circuit around a large metropolis. Two or three (cities) are currently studying this possibility. »
