IF YOU are going to gamble then surely there is no better place to do it than Las Vegas?. That seems to be the case with Formula One, where it is a safe bet they will confirm that a race in Sin City will join the calendar, potentially as early as next year. Interest in the sport has rocketed Stateside for the first time in F1’s 72-year history. This year sees the introduction of a second race in the US — the Miami Grand Prix — on May 8. McLaren’s American CEO said at the start of the year this race will be “the hottest ticket of the year”. To add a THIRD race in the USA seems a safe bet but it also marks somewhat of a gamble for F1’s American owners, Liberty Media.
