To my amazement, I actually had a friend who bought advanced tickets. He hadn't read any of the articles about the backlash, lack of approval, and lack of preparation. If you gave them 10 years, they still wouldn't have been ready.

I'm not ruling out another US F1 GP, but given how many worldwide venues are battling for a race, why would they have two in the US, which is not a big market? France, home of the grand prix, lost a race for 10 years. So did Austria, Argentina, San Marino, Luxemberg, etc.
