A fourth US-based Formula 1 Grand Prix, to be held on the streets of Chicago, will replace the Belgian GP
The Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps failed to secure an extension, leading Formula One Management to focus on expanding in the United States. The North American Grand Prix in Chicago will take place on a 2.2-mile street course around Grant Park starting in 2023. This addition will make it the fourth Formula One race in the United States in a single calendar year, alongside Miami, Austin, and Las Vegas. Despite the disappointment for Spa fans, Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali expressed enthusiasm for bringing F1 to Chicago.
