Reigning champion Lewis Hamilton believes Formula One needs a New York City street race to crack the U.S. market.F1 currently has one grand prix on American soil, but the ongoing purchase of its commercial rights by Colorado-based Liberty Media has led to speculation more are in the pipeline.The U.S. Grand Prix in Austin was supposed to be joined by the Grand Prix of America in New Jersey in 2013, but a lack of funding and eye-watering development costs saw the plan fall through. Hamilton believes the New Jersey plan did not aim high enough, however, and believes F1 needs to make a statement by hosting a race on the streets of Manhattan.They had the New Jersey plan, but I wasnt massively disappointed because I want it in New York City -- in the centre of New York City, he told ESPN. I think if Formula One wants to be big in the States we need to have that race in the heart of New York City somehow. The roads are terrible, but that would be epic!Street races are special, particularly when the sound [of the cars] was really good -- it might not sound as great now, but it would still be epic. If we are able to do that it would be great, because then people are forced to watch it and maybe you can infect more people with that F1 bug.When the whole of New York knows that one of the biggest events coming to town is F1, that would be big. Right now, probably half the people in New York dont know what F1 is, maybe more, but its certainly a large proportion.Hamilton often travels to America between races and lists New York, Colorado, Tennessee and Hawaii among his favourite places to visit. From his experiences in the States, the British driver believes F1 needs to work harder to capture the imaginations of American sports fans.Its a lot different to how it used to be, I might be running in LA and people notice me, which Im shocked by. Last time I was in LA, which is a while ago now, I was running and bumped into some people and they just happened to be hardcore Formula One fans. I think in the States they are such big sporting fans that they dont half-arse it and just casually watch Formula One, they are actually super into it and addicted or not at all.Most Americans I meet, if they ask me about my job to start a conversation they get hooked and they start asking me a whole lot of questions. They really get hooked and then they start watching, and Ive got people that Ive met from American who have become dear friends and they message me religiously on race weekends. They know where Im going to be before I know and they get up at all the funny hours to watch.I dont mean it in a bad way, but its like a bit like a virus thats not that easy to catch, but when you do catch it you get hooked on it. I think Americans are more immune to it, not 100 percent immune to it, but when they get caught they are pulled in.Thats great and thats why we need to add more races and get more people knowing about it, because they are crazy sportsmen and women and theyve been fascinated by it in my experience.
