Chase Carey, boss of Formula 1, has said that the sport is still chasing races in what they call "destination cities", such as Miami and Las Vegas.

F1 were in very advanced talks for a Miami race recently until talks broke down, but Carey has refuelled speculation of a race in the city, whilst adding Las Vegas into the mix as well.

The American said in a phone call with analysts from Wall Street: "There are a lot more fans here than people believe there are, so I think we're excited about those opportunities. We've talked about adding races in what we call destination cities like Las Vegas or Miami.

"We've been engaged for the last year there, I think we've made good headway. We continue to [do so], I have meetings next week with parties there, I had meetings a month ago there. We feel it's important, we feel we're making steps.

"We recognise that there are multiple elements in continuing to grow and build the sport, engage the fan base here. We're making good headway on it. Probably the first step would be adding that race in a city like Miami or Las Vegas."

So perhaps the calendar will be extended even further with the addition of one of these races? What do you think of another Grand Prix in the USA? Vote below!
