F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has revealed two other American cities are in the running to host a second Formula 1 race in the USA besides leading contender Miami.
Austin, Texas has become the home of the United States Grand Prix since the first F1 race at the Circuit of the Americas was staged in 2012.
But Domenicali is keen for a second to take place in order to further broaden the sport’s appeal – and has mentioned Las Vegas and Indianapolis as possible options.
Miami has been on the agenda for some time, with Domenicali saying recently the Florida city “is a place where we are looking – there is a big interest from both parties to be there”.

Verstappen’s Austin penalty ‘sticks’ with steward
Date published:
February 7 2021
Steward Garry Connelly has said the decision to strip Max Verstappen of his podium finish at the 2017 US GP remains one of his toughest decisions.
The Red Bull driver pulled off what first appeared to be a fantastic overtaking manoeuvre on Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen, snatching P3 and a spot on the podium from the Finn on the final lap of the United States Grand Prix in Austin.
But Verstappen was pulled from the podium ceremony and replaced by Raikkonen shortly before it started. The stewards had concluded Verstappen went off the track and gained an unfair advantage, demoting him to P4 with a five-second time penalty.
