Haas team boss Günther Steiner is confident ღof seeing a second race in the United States join the Formula 1 calendar in the near future, believing it would only help the current event in Austin, Texas by raising the sport’s profile.

F1 r🥀eturns to Austin next weekend for the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of The Americas, marking Haas’ home race. The team races under an American license, an🍷d has a base in Kannapolis, North Carolina.

F1 first visited COTA in 2012, but the sport has been pushing to try and add a second American round to the calen﷽dar in the near future.

Plans were in place for a new race in Miami to join the schedule 🍌in 2019, only for this to be postpo𝓰ned until 2020 at the very earliest.

Previewing Haas’ ho𒀰me race, team principal Steiner spoke of the importance of F1 having a significant presence in the United States before expressing his confidence a second American race would join the calendar𝔍 in the future.

“I think it’s very important for 🐈Formula One to have a race in the United States. For a long time, until🌊 COTA came on the scene, there wasn’t one,” Steiner said.

“I think the fan base is growing. It’s important for Formula One, but also for us beca🐼use it’s our home grand prix. We’re all looking forward to it.

“It would be fantastic to have a second Formula One race in America. I think we will get there. It takes a littl🃏e bit of time, but it will happen.”

Asked if heཧ thought a second US round would det✃ract from the current event at COTA, Steiner said: “I think it would accentuate it. There are enough fans, we could get attention for two races.

“I🍸 think it would add to the presence of Formula 1 in the United States an🌸d not take anything away from COTA.”
