Why is Formula 1 not in the U.S.?
Posted on Feb 17, 2023 by Caden Whitlock
Formula One is a multi-billion dollar business and one of the most popular sports in the world but it is often overlooked in the United States due to a lack of a major presence in the country. This is due to a number of factors, including the fact that the sport is relatively unknown in the US, the high cost of hosting a race, the lack of suitable circuits and the difficulty in finding suitable sponsors. Additionally, the US audiences are typically more interested in NASCAR and IndyCar, two forms of motorsport which are seen as more authentically American. As a result, Formula One has seen a decline in popularity amongst US fans in recent years, which has likely contributed to the overall lack of interest in the sport in the US.
