USA gets dropped by Formula One (grand prix)!

I,m surprsied to see the new schedule for F1 and that the USA no longer has a formula one race .F1 is such a commerical sport and the usa consumer market is huge ,I would have thought the usa would be its biggest $$$$ goldmine?.

Why does F1 consider the usa does not fit in its plans? maybe its becuase of all the sports there already ? nascar? etc...Discuss....

Here are the full details.

The calendar was released on Wednesday, with Singapore's new circuit included as part of an 18-race season.


The Canadian Grand Prix is retained despite previously being given only provisional status, and the French Grand Prix - which had been in doubt - is also included.
