F1 and the United States, an increasingly consolidated marriage

This weekend the fourth edition of the Miami GP will be played, one of the three dates that the World Cup has scored in the North America giant. It will be the 80th race in the country.

Historically, the United States was a gigantic and appetizing market in which Formula 1 could not impact. With purely English roots (seven of the ten teams are in the United Kingdom), the World Cup made denodined attempts to turn on the American public, but could not. He visited all kinds of clues and cities in his perseverance, but there was no case. However, it all started to change when Liberty Media, media company in the United States, took the share of FOM. And the changes began, the category “Americanized more,” the Netflix series arose that gave him a Hollywood air, often forced to generate an attractive, and new audience, of all latitudes, joined. The impact was precisely on the American continent giant, which at these times has three of the 24 races: the United States GP in Texas, the Miami GP and the Las Vegas GP.

Just this weekend, the fourth edition of the competition in Florida will be played, in the semi -permanent installed in Miami Gardens and is surrounded by the Hard Rock Stadium (the Dolphins house) and stuck to the place where the Miami 1000 Masters is disputed.
