Formula 1 boss says US races ‘are not interfering with each other’

The head of Formula 1 Stefano Domenicali thinks there is no danger of “cannibalism” between the three USA races of the world championship.

Last year, the Austin race was joined by the Miami race, and this season Formula 1 will return to Las Vegas with a night race in November. An option for a fourth start in the States is already under discussion, and Domenicali expressed confidence that these races can exist without interfering with each other.

In order to preserve the differences between the individual American starts, in Las Vegas they focused on attracting more affluent spectators, and in Austin it will be the only one of the American races where there will also be a sprint race.

“It’s clear that every race, not only in America, has its own look, a different cultural approach, a different group of fans,” Domenicali explained during a video meeting with investors. – Sometimes we forget that only two years ago we wondered if it even made sense to hold a competition in the States. But thanks to our persistence, we are here now. Last year we held two races in the US, this year we are adding one more. I don’t see cannibalism between them, they are different, there will be no problems.”
