New York does not look ready to join Miami as another US destination on the F1 calendar.
It is now almost certain that Miami will become the second US-based grand prix next year, alongside Austin.
But Liberty Media had also targeted New York.
Christian Sylt, the F1 business journalist for Forbes, revealed that early this year Liberty Media signed up to rent an office for formula one in New York.
A race in the iconic city, however, is some way off.
"We might need a little bit of a change in leadership in that city before we get there," F1 commercial boss Sean Bratches admitted to the KindredCast pocast.
But he sounds determined to keep building F1 in the States, insisting that "there is an underlying fanbase there that just needs to be activated".

Figured as much. Its not all roses, hosting a GP inside a city, effectively blocking off roads and streets and all for a generally pretty average race (with some exceptions, this year's Baku and Monaco being two notable ones), only to be able to label it as "more exclusive". Just give us Laguna Seca, and I'd be all for a second U.S GP.

Speaking of congestion, Christian Sylt knows all about jams.

Forget NYC. Like so many things in New York... The GP would be overprized and overrated.
