Fernando Alonso Weighs in the Prospect of Having a Third F1 Race in America

With the Miami Grand Prix being confirmed for next year’s F1 calendar, there have been talks about having another race in the States. The place in question is having a race in Las Vegas or Indianapolis and Alpine’s Fernando Alonso doesn’t mind having a third race in America.

There have been talks of having a third Grand Prix in America, two places in particular, Las Vegas and Indianapolis. And, Alonso is excited about the prospect but is hoping to have a great race in Miami, before a third race in the States is added to the F1 calendar.

Speaking to Motorsport.com, Alonso said, “I guess so, I don’t see a problem with it. America is probably F1’s biggest target right now with Liberty in charge of the sport.”

“There are rumors that it could happen in different places, Las Vegas, Indianapolis or whatever, so we’ll see. But first let’s do a good grand prix in Miami next year. I’m very, very excited to come here, it’s going to be one of the best races of the year 2022. It’s a new event, a new city, I think a lot of people in the F1 community will discover Miami for the first time,” Alonso explained. (Translated from Spanish via Google)
