Lewis Hamilton loves the idea of a night race in New York

Lewis Hamilton has backed apparent plans for a F1 night race in New York. Recently, Bernie Ecclestone's successor Chase Carey said a race in New York is a "priority". 

"In New York it would be really cool," triple world champion Lewis Hamilton said in Russia. "We definitely need two grands prix in the US. It would be incredible -- it's a stunning city." 

"New Jersey would be a great backdrop for the grand prix. Whether it's a night race, I think even the day it would be good, or the evening as the sunsets are stunning and with New York in the background it would be so cool."
 

I think F1 should focus on broadening before establishing multiple GPs per country. F1 has high following in South America, yet only one event. If you ask me, the logical thing to do is to prioritise having one more event down there.

    Street tracks don't belong in F1.
