Not so long ago it was the circuits of Monaco and Monza that epitomized Formula 1. Its modern ambitions, however, are more Miami. This year, not only will the US have more races than any other country, but with Las Vegas joining the circuit, the balance of power in F1 might be shifting across the Atlantic.

As someone who started watching F1 in the early 2010s, then sort of dropped off during the turbo-hybrid era, coming back to the sport now is very surreal. The amount of media the drivers now have to do - from Netflix, to media appearances, to silly little RU-vid challenges - is not something I could've anticipated. As a fan, I admit to enjoying a lot of that. But you can't say that it hasn't somewhat diminished the prestige.

@harrisonwest4032 Год назад

how has it diminished the prestige? isn't fame and attention towards the sport only increasing the prestige around it?

@Drrolfski Год назад

People who expect that the amount of F1 races in the US will increase significantly in the coming years, as this video is suggesting, should hold their horses and be aware that the DNA and appeal of this sport is actually truly global. Like football, F1 really wants to reach out to fans all over the world. That in itself puts a natural limit to the number of F1 races you can have in the US, even if that is a very attractive market atm. About 24 F1 races a year is widely regarded as the absolute maximum you can have if you have to travel this massive circus all over the world. So adding any new F1 race means axing another race, which is already causing huge problems. No less because of its historic roots. You can't just delete an unprofitable race (Spa) or less exciting race (Monaco) from the calendar and put a US race in its place. Fans and teams simply won't accept that and especially the teams are very powerful in this sport.

I miss F1 under Bernie Eccleston, now it’s lost it’s aspirational quality. It’s untrue that nobody knew who the drivers then, F1 just wasn’t as commodified and you had to have a genuine interest in the sport to know what was happening. The drivers and teams were not “brands” unlike today. Eccleston had his issues but he understood the intangible value of the sport, Liberty Media and the petro-billionaires have destroyed that.

@BilTheGalacticHero Год назад

I've watched every single F1 race for the last 20+ years. In the past, hardly anyone in the United States knew what F1 was. Since Liberty Media bought Formula One Management and unshackled the sport the awareness in the States has grown massively. Drive to Survive was a HUGE part of that happening. Having Logan Sergeant on the grid now is great but don't expect that to drive a lot of interest. He's a rookie driver for a team that's sadly fallen to the back of the grid and is unlikely to be competitive for several years (and that's being optimistic). That said, don't expect more than three races in the States. Circuit of the Americas in Texas is an amazing track that produces great racing. Miami, not so much. We'll see about Las Vegas but a 10pm race in November could be flirting with disaster due to the low air and track temperatures, especially if a cold snap comes through. Regardless, I'm looking forward to it.

I have been watching motorsports since the 1970's. I don't believe Formula 1 will last in America. This has happened before. Americans lost interest in the late 70's / early 80's. Then we went through a long period of indifference to Formula 1 for decades. We just did'nt care about it. It rose in popularity ( some what ) in the early 2000's. Then we lost interest again after the 2005 fiasco. Now we seem to like it again in the early 2020's. For now. But it will change . Americans have always been turned off by the elitist, country club, atmosphere of F1.Only , these days there seems to be even more of it than ever before. This is not the F1 that i remember from the 70's and 80's. It was a people's sport back then. (Or at least, it felt that way.) Today, the hype is bigger than the race itself !
