Ecclestone hoping for Grand Prix in New York
MILAN — Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone says he hopes there will be a grand prix in New York in 2012.
In Thursday’s Gazzetta dello Sport, Ecclestone says the venue would be in New Jersey, with the skyscrapers of Manhattan in the background.
There hasn’t been a grand prix in the United States since 2007, when Lewis Hamilton won in Indianapolis to signal the end to eight years at the circuit.
Before that, Phoenix hosted three grand prix from 1989 to 1991, while Watkins Glen in upstate New York hosted the F1 from 1961 to 1980.
