Global director of Ford Performance Motorsports, Mark Rushbrook, recently hinted that a return to F1 could be in the works, admitting: “What they have done well is to create great racing and great competition. It’s still the pinnacle, and they have been able to reach new audiences with things like Netflix’s Drive to Survive.”
The sport is also seeing increased American influence, with a Grand Prix in Las Vegas added to the coming year’s schedule, along with further races in Austin and Miami. US-based Andretti Autosport are vying to become the 11th team on the F1 grid, joining forces with General Motors to operate under the Cadillac brand.
