Formula 1 is in the “final stages” of getting the proposed Miami Grand Prix deal across the line despite facing a “local pol꧃itical arena”, according to CEO Chase Carey.

F1 owner Libertyꦜ Media hopes to expand the cham🍎pionship’s presence in the United States by adding a second race to the calendar in Florida in 2021.

The plans have hit a number of major stumbling blocks after facing objection from locals, forcing F1 to abandon its original location🉐 for the race in the downtown area of the city.

Earlier this week, F1 confirmed it has made 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:further changes to its plans in a bid to win over local support after hitt𝐆ing snags with its revised circuit location, which is situated around the Miami Dolphins’ NFL stadium.

Speaking at the 2019 season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Carey provided an update on the situation, saying: “We’re really down to a political process. The business aspects of it aꦿre pretty well finalised.

“There’s been a local political arena with divided views that we have to work our way through. I think it will get wo🐻rked thr𒅌ough pretty quickly because they’ve obviously had a series of meetings.

“We’rܫe optimistic but nonetheless handicapped by local politics. It will be determined in the short-term how that gets resolved.”

A meeting over the plans with t💙he Miami-Dade county commissionerᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs was scheduled to take place on Wednesday (January 22), with a crucial vote set to determine the stadium’s rights to hold motor racing events. 

While F1 hopes to overcome the final obstacles in the long-running saga, Carey revealed there were other alterna▨tives in the US if the Miami race did not come off as hop🤡ed.

“We are engaged in other opportunities🌜 in the US and that's not a negative ꧑statement about Miami,” he said. 

"We are in the final stages of getting🌺 over the line or not. We have the luxury of demand that exceeds supꦯply."
