Look for more F1 expansion in the United States

There’s no title on the line as was the case in the dramatic 2021 race. Max Verstappen has already clinched the title and a lot of the interest in this final Grand Prix of the season will be looking forward to the new 2023 season.

When the F1 season comes to an end, fans around the world will be anxiously counting down the days to the start of the 2023 season.

Recent years have seen big changes in F1 with new American owners. They are keen to see America play a larger role in the sport. This year has seen more American gamblers being able to bet on F1

That’s because the American gambling industry has been expanding in recent years. Individual states can now decide for themselves whether or not to make sports betting legal, particularly online. Over 30 have done so, including New York, New Jersey, Florida and etc and more will follow suit before the 2023 F1 season begins.

Just as the F1 teams are making preparations for the new season, the US will see sports betting made legal in both Ohio and Massachusetts. Residents there will be closely following developments as they prepare to make F1 predictions for the new season.

Already, more Americans are watching and betting on F1. A Netflix series introduced US viewers to the drivers and that has helped boost interest in F1.

The Miami Grand Prix took place earlier in the year, with the regular US Grand Prix taking place towards the end of October. 2023 will see a third race being staged in the US with the debut of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Thanksgiving is a major holiday in the US. Next year, the week before that takes place, Americans will be heading to Las Vegas. Not just to try and get some wins in the many casinos but to watch the Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 18.

Those US gamblers wanting to bet on the race will need to remember that this is going to be a night race and held on a Saturday rather than the usual Sunday. Night races are always spectacular to watch and the Las Vegas race will be no exception to the rule. Just imagine the thrill of seeing F1 cars driving past all the hotels and casinos that can be found on the Las Vegas strip.

Before the race there’ll be lots of entertainment, well it is Las Vegas. Get ready for a spectacular opening ceremony with music acts galore.

With three races in the US next year, then the amount gambled on F1 in the States is bound to increase. But a lot is going to happen in the sport before the three American races are staged.

While fans in the US and around the world won’t have races to watch, there’ll be plenty of gossip to catch up on. Team members will be the subject of the gossip. Who will be leaving their teams and who will be their replacements are likely to be discussed more than who will win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The 2022 F1 season has produced plenty of excitement for those who watch and gamble on F1. US gamblers, along with others around the globe, will have had a successful year if betting on Max Verstappen to win a Grand Prix.

It hasn’t always been a case of short odds being available for predictions. In-play betting has seen some good odds being available. That’s particularly been the case when Verstappen has been down the field and having to make his way through it to claim another success.

Between now and the first practice sessions for the 2023 F1 season, teams such as Mercedes and Ferrari will be trying their hardest to ensure that they close the gap on Red Bull.

It is important for the sport that we see a close title race in 2023. Last year’s F1 season produced that and even though it ended controversially, it raised interest in the sport.

Two of the three races being staged in the US in 2023 come towards the end of the season. The 2022 US Grand Prix was held after Verstappen had won the world title. US interest will be higher if the title is still up for grabs when both the US and Las Vegas races take place.

2023 is going to be a big year for F1. The hope is that it will be a closely fought-title race. That will see some great odds offered on races and with three US races, it could also be a landmark one for the sport.
