Former Formula 1 CEO Chase Carey has revealed that New York was one of three cities under consideration for a new race in the United States after Liberty Media acquired the championship from Liberty Media in 2017. The other two locations were Miami and Las Vegas. Carey, who led F1 from 2017 until Stefano Domenicali took over in 2021, emphasized the importance of the U.S. market, both for its size and the brands and franchises that originate there.
The CEO acknowledged that New York was not a realistic option, but Miami and Las Vegas became viable locations to expand the sport's presence in the U.S. Miami joined the F1 calendar in 2022, with a long-term contract extension keeping it on the calendar until at least 2041. Las Vegas followed in 2023, with a contract extension through the end of 2037.
