Typo in video description mate. 3 races in 2020? Great video! Your series are fantastic!

2020-60= 1960 60 years ago, F1 hosted the United States Grand Prix in Sebring 168.5 miles from Miami

Couldn't find it!!!! Thanks for the heads up though

Hearing damage? They must think the cars are still running the V10s or V12s.

Read the article and I remembered that's it's Florida !!!! Anything goes including not once but twice was a man arrested for beating someone with a lizard!!!!!!

Unfortunately I don’t think Abu Dhabi is going anywhere anytime soon.

I like the idea of a rotating calendar but that would imply renegotiating a lot of contracts. Some tracks in the Middle East for instance signed 10-year deals so you could well see some of those classic tracks rotating instead. Which would be terrible of course.

Or you could keep adding races, as long as every team has to use their reserve driver for some events. That way F1 can cover more territory without becoming impractical.

@@cholloway0046 the issue is not the drivers.. the people working behind the scenes are the ones who end up being overworked and underpaid

@@cholloway0046 the drivers have it easy compared to the mechanics. Those guys have to work all the track sessions, as well as building/fixing/tearing down the cars.

@@DF-et4gs Isn't it just an advertisment for the stadium?

The issue is that it would cost the city and surrounding businesses billions to shut down the beach or the bay for a race. Its just not realistic.

Interestingly this is the first new circuit in years to not be designed (or partially designed) by Hermann Tilke, which is a good thing (Tilke has given some good [Sepang, Istanbul] and bad [Abu Dubai, Sochi] circuits over the years but everyone can agree that more people should be allowed to design the tracks F1 cars race on, diversity in ideas can only be a good thing when it comes to track design).

Doesn't have anywhere near the elevation changes of Interlagos.

@@LilSebastian_ did you find Jeddah boring?

Thatd be alot more exciting, shame they didnt hold up on that

This should absolutely be the case. Just like we had a designated European Grand Prix that would rotate between various tracks; Nurburgring, Valencia, Hockenheim, Imola, Mugello, Zandvoort etc... have an Asian Grand Prix rotation which could include, the Indian GP, South Korea, Malaysia, China, Japan ( Fuji ), and a Middle Eastern GP, where you can put Jeddah, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Turkey and possibly Azerbaijan (which has been considered a European GP and was in that rotation initially). The Americas could follow as well, Miami and Vegas could alternate.

The US is just massive, I’m pretty sure our country is the same size as multiple countries put together in Europe. Vegas and Miami are basically on opposite ends, and COTA is a fun track.

I actually didn't like the format because it involved amazing circuits. Such circuits must be on the calendar every single year for me

ding ding ding ding!

It has always been about the show. In the Bernie Eccleston era we heard it all the time. Bahrain has an oasis section, Monaco is touted for its bling despite being a dreadful track for racing, singapore came in with the first night race and fireworks at the end of the race, Abu Dhabi shortly after, Bahrain went to a night race to compete, the 3 part qualifying system was to improve the show because in the old 12 lap format there wasn't really much track action for a lot of the hour long session. Elimination quali, sprint races, new points system in 2010 to make drivers fight more, degrading tyres, drs, kers back in 09, 09 regs, 2022 regs, so many things that were done for the show. It will always be about te show because that's what people pay for

F1 always been about money and putting on a good show. difference is until 2-3 years ago f1 was stuck in the mud and in large part dying financially. Its only due to the restrictions both on the track and off (ala capped budgets for teams) as well as D2S generating a massive american contingent that F1 has jumped back into the spot light. Now that they have that momentum back they arent gonna squander it and are gonna capitalize

F1 at Daytona would be sick.

@@rexthewolf3149 There's also the Homestead Miami Speedway, but that track is so small.

It’s not really a street track, it just has closer walls than some places like France. It’s a custom built, custom asphalt, custom layout track. Similar to Jeddah or Australia. One of those tracks is good (Jeddah), so keep an open mind to the possibilities.

It is not a street track. They call Jeddah or Australia also street tracks but they are not.

Thanks for explaining this. I live in GA (which borders FL) and Miami is a 10-hour drive for me. 3 races in the US will give US fans a better chance to see a race in person.

Exactly. Strawman-baiting everywhere and not reading the room.

Are you kidding me? Of course they’re going to follow the money. At the end of the day F1 is a business. You can’t build 12 million dollar cars and fly them around the world with teams of people and not make any money. I had no problem dishing out the ticket price because this race is set to be more than just a race. Miami is an experience. The level of concerts, events, and fan fests have already been insane and it’s only Wednesday. The sport is of course going to sell to the highest bidder because that’s how they stay a very technical and expensive sport. If you want cheap, watch cheap sports.

I agree they destroyed the history of that track the new one least favourite track

"old fans" need to get over themselves bc new fans generate the same amount of money as old fans do anf F1 knows it. As as result they're gonna cater to generating new audiences bc people who are already fans are very unlikely to just stop being fans of the sport bc of a theatrical set up (which you can completely ignore should you choose)

i was thinking the exact same thing...the US wants to conditon some "youths" into becoming F1 drivers XD. I even called the track a call of duty multiplayer map. Right down to the "sponsored" yacht ad/marina. Also guaranteed that any if not ALL of the us races/broadcasts were "PLANNED" on sundays that didnt include any major NBA/MLB/NFL overlap as far as viewing time slots...or PGA majors....bc thats how played out the US is honestly. So now theyre not only appealling to "new viewers" but essentially NON viewers to "digest" f1. As dipshits will be tweeting about F1 that are watching it by virtue at a bar.....etc...with the boys bc theres nothing else on to watch...F1 twitter will be inundated with shit head a plenty....crying about their "Needs/demands" being met as "FANS".

Might want to read up a bit more.

@@GloomGaiGar suggestions on what to read?

Incredibly lazy strawman. Europeans love the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. Miami is not a city with a large racing culture, the track was rather sloppily built where it wasn’t even finished prior to the first race (much like Las Vegas), it was cramped, crowded and overly expensive track that doesn’t provide much excitement for drivers or audiences. It doesn’t help that Florida is either burning hot or humid, so the costumer experience isn’t great either. Honestly, Formula 1 needs to get rid of both Miami and Las Vegas. And I say this as a Floridian since both are mediocre courses. Keep Texas since it has a racing culture, great track, large venue space and services. Move another track out of the South and have it in Indianapolis or Watkins Glen in New York. Diverse regions and parts of the U.S. would make the most sense for good diversity of tracks and environments. The hate for Miami has nothing to do with the race being in America. It’s just a lousy track and greedy cash grab.

Not at all😂😂😂

Watching it right now and it's just such a boring track + the whole surrounding is so cringe. I mean just look at this marina. Embarassing.

Still, the US should have no more priority in taking up spaces on the Callander for other circuits, we need one in China or India, not a mediocre city like Miami

There are fans all over the world that have to travel thousands of kilometres across borders cause their own, and neighboring countries don't have any races at all. 'The US being big' ain't a good reasoning for three races when you can get flights to Austin for way under 100 bucks from all major parts of the US.

It's an American mass media company that owns it now so it was inevitable, doesn't make it suck any less that there will be 3 US races though.

@@TheMarslMcFly the us is more easily equates to the entirety of Europe on every metric. To properly define the us is to say it is a country made up of countries. What is that similar to? The euro union. If you believe this then Europe should have 3 tracks as well.

They are quickly going back down the path of being seen as a “rich man’s” sport if the ticket prices don’t get under control. There is absolutely ZERO justification for a racing series ticket to cost what an American could get a seat at the super bowl or World Series for (would be a shity seat but still)

Best part of being American, isn’t it???

Vegas layout reminds me of a wider Monza. 4 turns, a bunch of straights, some flat out racing.

@@hobinrood710 Monza has some of the toughest braking points of the entire calendar and there is gravel there. If you make a mistake in Monza, you pay for it.

@@giuseppemaggio5894 True, but can't that be fixed by then? Early artist renderings are usually off a bit. Asetto Corsa did the city of Vegas no favors with that track. I'm not thinking gravel, but maybe something new can be thought of by then? Different type of tarmac like Paul Ricard or something? Kerbs? Walls? I see your point, a line isn't enough to keep these cars in between the lines, but it's Vegas. And it's a night race. They've got the money to fix the roads and honestly, they're the ones going to go over the top when it comes to the US races. Not many people I know are excited about the race in the parking lot in Ft Lauderdale, most are wait for Vegas tickets to go on sale.

@@hobinrood710 I don't think there is a lot they can do to fix it. It's a street circuit so you can't just change the city plant of that area just for a race and of course Las Vegas in the middle of the desert so everything is flat...and that's bad.

No, because there's gonna be 3 USA races in 2023 which is too much, especially with many important tracks wanting to come back, and the fact that F1 wants to be more ecologic but they build a fake port in the track, making it look like a fake wierd Monaco copy

Europe has roughly twice the population of the US but has ten GPs. I understand F1 is based in Europe so I'm cool with that - and also all thr classic tracks. But the US having three isn't absurd at all.

Well the U.S is the size of most of Europe and they're just now getting a foot hold in the market so of course they're going to also Miami is alot nicer with more money and it's a business

I would say a good f1 calendar to me has to have not only the legacy tracks like monza, interlagos, monaco, spa, silverstone, suzuka.Keep newer circuits that have been there for many years like canada, azerbaijan to an extent(since its been on the calendar for… a lot of years) austria, singapore, bahrain… Have netherlands cause of verstappen, mexico as well for checo…have all continents involved aka have south africa join us… have US race(s) for sure… I would for example love the return of indy cause of its history although I don’t mind somewhere else… And to me also have 2 major countries which one is on the calendar with not the best track in paul ricard(France) which I prefer for example magny cours or lemans even and the other dropped off the calendar(Germany)… And then have more countries join in… I feel there is no need for more than 1 circuit per country except for America just because of its shear size and russia(after the war obviously I m against war) at max… So its well represented… From there on out F1 can find all the good circuits, in countries where their safety will not be at risk(aka not in Saudi, not that I hate the track but I don’t want drivers to feel that their safety is at risk)… I don’t mind Miami being here and I get why the 3 races but I feel there is still much that is lacking in the current calendar for us to focus solely in US and countries which pay a lot but don’t have safety for the drivers and spectators fully guaranteed…

I just hope Miami is a good race/track and no more than 2 races max per country, because there is more places where f1 could and should go in the future.

To be criticizing the organizers wanting to add races in America, one of the largest countries in the world by landmass, is just an ignorant argument. How about Baku, Korea, china, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Valencia ( which I actually enjoyed), the list goes on of the Ecclestone expansionist phase. any dictator with money and no soul got a race date. FFS look at the mess that is Sochi. The demand for multiple races is just due to how damn big America is. I'm on the east coast in North Carolina. Pretty much far right, and centrally aligned with the entire country. To go to Miami its I-95 all the way, I'm looking at almost 13 hours of driving at almost 900miles). Austin Texas is far worse at 1,400 miles and 21 hours of straight travel. . ---- to finish my distance discussion to drive from my home in Eastern NC to Vegas is 2,400 miles this not even a full transit of the United states with another 3ish hours of highway to go to reach LA. 2,413 miles and 36 non stop hours of driving. To wrap it up our old friend Las Vegas { let me make a pause here, I THINK VEGAS IS GOING TO BE DOPE. Every hub airport in America has daily cheap flights to Vegas, hotels is not a problem for people across the price spectrum, its a live-wire any hour city, and most importantly making the pits and infrastructure hub away from the strip means the Strip can operate with minimal disruption, ( i have to look again, i wonder if they will run one of the Strips roads backwards and make the other side serve 2 way traffic during the event?? food for thought) ... Vegas is going to be well attended by ticket holders, every eyeball in the area will be watching, it will be played in every casino and poker room floor. The TOD for Vegas prevents the Cesar's parking lot roast of the past Historic circuits should be preserved but only if they still maintain and provide for great racing. ( spa now that its finally fixing the problem of the danger on the inside of the Eau rouge complex has earned its spot, Monza with the highest speeds in F1, no brainer, Silverstone, the racing heart of the series, I would like to see a solid French Gp. Things like the redbull Hungaro ring which is only 7 fucking corners.... BLAHHH put them in a rotation.... ------------------------------- IMHO COTA is a world class track { made by taking inspiration from what makes all the other circuits great- in particular the up hill climb of spa and the Suzuki S's, the S's pay respect to the Suzuki layout with their altering radius, getting tighter in the middle and opening up as you exit the complex. Japan is up hill and to the left, America is downhill and starts with a right hander. I think they built COTA with respect and it shows. America has our great circuits ( Daytona 24 hour, Sebring 24 hour , VIR {RIP forever Oaktree..... you live on in our hearts) , Road Atlanta, all these circuits are within a 900 mile straight line on the east coast alone. Anywhere they want to put a race has to be fueled and serviced by a major commercial airport that shows extreme competency in logistics. ( This again is why Las Vegas is brilliant. That's a town of people that know how to do logistics, move huge loads , set up and take down events with military precision and do it MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE times a year. That's why i believe the hotel involved, Sorry cant place the name right now, is looking at this a a long time connection and investment instead of just a demonstration event. More like A F1 Residence in Vegas instead of a stand alone event. TLDR: America is fucking gigantic. Our infrastructure is based on interstates and air travel. Train travel is not of any noteworthy conversation and outside a few high speed corridors in the North East (Boston-NY-Washington DC.) High speed rail is just not a thing here. So people face huge amounts of time off work to drive, or flights, hotels, rental cars it just becomes such a pile on. I love the heritage of F1 but the circuits need to be worthwhile, and adaptive ( with the help from F1), we need to stop making dictator grand Prix's and focus on what's best for the sport that is the international championship of Motorsports.

Quickly - From my knowledge Spa has earned its place now that construction has been done to open the space to the left of the Eau Rouge complex stopping cars that go off Left being kicked back and across the circuit, which of course cost us Anthoine Hubert at the age of only 22. The people saying nothing could be done were full of it, we build tunnels through mountains, have a train that goes the the highest observatory in the world in the alps yet we could not change elevation and gradient on the side of a Belgium hillside.... Like come on.

I think because I believe Tilke still designs all the circuits, he is kind of stuck in his ways and idk if you ever saw Chain Bear's video on his track design, it's always the same style corners, just used in a different order and place on the track. But I also believe that the newer tracks have been built with racing in mind, and it is slowly working out in my opinion, I think forgetting about the surrounding area, and just focusing on the circuit, the racing should improve.

I agree!

great circiut 👍

"an entire money spinner built for profit with the racing being a secondary factor." You just described F1.

Exactly! Street circuits used to be like a cool “only a few” unique races. Now I feel like every track is just barrier and pavement.
