Rather than Miami, Vettel prefers other “real American circuits”

As always in Formula 1, we can count on Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin) to find a dissenting voice among the Grand Prix paddock. All drivers expressed positive or neutral criticism of the design of the Miami (Florida) circuit, except the four-time world champion.

Indeed, Sebastian Vettel dared to make an unpleasant comparison for the Florida track. The German is a connoisseur of motorsport, and the United States can boast of having “fantastic tours with an incredible history”, notably Road America (Wisconsin).

This hilly 6,515 km track welcomes theIndyCar,IMSA as well as the NASCAR Xfinity Series, but not F1. “From a driving point of view, I think the races would be much more interesting there”, said Sebastian Vettel, who wears a helmet wanting to raise awareness about rising water levels in Florida due to global warming.

"The amount of money that was spent on this (the Miami circuit), I think it would have been enough to modernize very cool places like Road America”, and therefore to be able to organize F1 Grand Prix there.

And to conclude with his initial idea: “For my passion for driving, I would love to go to real circuits. » Sebastian Vettel will start in Miami from 13th position at 21:30 p.m. French time.
