‘Super Bowl or NBA?’ Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez pick out their preferences as we edge closer towards the Miami GP

The carnival of F1 has reached the US to host the inaugural Miami GP and both Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez along with other chose between some neck to neck events. As the FIA looks to expand the reach of the sport, US looked like the plausible option to start with the expansion.

After an enthralling last season, it was very important for the sport to build from that foundation. We saw two of the best in Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen going head to head as we went to the wire to decide the title.

The excitement amongst the fans for the last Abu Dhabi GP was unreal and the drivers also didn’t let the crowd down by putting a show for them. We saw once in a lifetime kind of battle in the last lap of the race which proved to be the title decider. After such an end to the season, it became imperative for the FIA to come up with ideas to take F1 to another level. Races in the US was definitely one way to go.
