Formula One Licensing B.V. has filed trade mark applications in the US for “CHICAGO GRAND PRIX”, “FORMULA ONE CHICAGO GRAND PRIX”, “FORMULA ONE GRAND PRIX OF CHICAGO” and “GRAND PRIX OF CHICAGO”.
Whilst there are no official indications yet that a race in Chicago is on the cards (the Madrid GP is the most recent announcement, taking place from 2026 onwards), F1 have certainly been expanding their presence in the US over the last few years with the addition of the Miami GP to the race calendar in 2022 and the Las Vegas GP in 2023, thanks in no small part to the popularity of the Netflix show “Drive to Survive”.
