The mentioned racetrack is a venue US GP for the last seven years, and for this year they are promised the second highest visit in the history of the race, right after the record debut race in 2012. Racecourse Circuit of The Americas has a contract with F1 for the next two seasons, and despite the fact that Austin has been the venue of the US Grand Prix for almost a decade, the first man of the racetrack, Bobby Epstein, admits that not everything is going smoothly during the extension, mainly due to the announced departure Sean Bratches from the position of Commercial Director of F1.
"We are concerned about the situation we found ourselves in when Sean Bratches announced his resignation," he said Epstein and admitted that it was not going according to their wishes: “It’s hard to negotiate with someone who clearly won’t be in that position anymore when they have to keep a promise they made at a meeting. We want long-term cooperation, but only on the condition that both sides take the contract seriously. "
Epstein has already said publicly that he wants bigger roles in the first man of Formula 1, Chase Carey, in negotiations, as they have so far only talked to Bratches. Formula 1 intends to hold another race in the USA in the coming years, the location has already been determined - Miami Florida.
