Greg Maffei, CEO of Liberty Media, the company that owns and operates Formula 1, revealed during a media event on Thursday that New York City mayor Eric Adams offered up Randalls and Wards Island as a venue for a future F1 race, according to Autosport.

Maffei made it clear, however, that such an event would not likely occur.

“The Eric Adams administration has reached out asking for one,” Maffei said. “I think that's very difficult. Their proposal, Randalls Island, is probably not our perfect venue."

The news comes just two weeks after the successful Miami Grand Prix and a month following the confirmation of a Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023.
