The Formula 1 continues its efforts to gain a stronger foothold in the United States. The wildly popular Netflix series, Drive to Survive, has captivated a growing number of American audiences, leading to an unprecedented three Grands Prix now taking place on U.S. soil. Among those enchanted by the sport is democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who has developed a fondness not .comy for Formula 1 but also for its star driver, Lewis Hamilton.
Harris’s Enthusiasm for F1
Recently, Kamala Harris made an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, a well-known radio program in the United States. In addition to discussing her political aspirations and campaign strategies, Harris opened up about her personal interests. To her surprise, she revealed her admiration for the high-speed world of Formula 1 and her favorite driver, Lewis Hamilton. “It’s so exciting,” Harris expressed passionately about the sport. “Our entire family really enjoys watching it together.”
Challenges of Following F1
However, the hectic nature of her presidential campaign has left Harris with little opportunity to keep up with every Grand Prix. The various time zones in which races occur present additional hurdles for American fans. “No, I really can’t watch everything,” she admits. “Lately, I’ve been too busy with my campaign efforts, and it depends on where the races are held and the time of day. Often, you have to wake up early.” Notably, the race calendar is generally geared towards European viewers, which means American fans typically have to get up at the crack of dawn to catch the action.
Encouragement for Americans to Tune In
Despite her challenges, Harris encourages her fellow Americans to give the sport a shot. “Once you start watching, it’s hard to stop,” she states, hinting at the addictive nature of this thrilling motorsport. Harris goes on to assert, “You may very well find yourself hooked.” In a light-hearted moment during the interview, host Howard Stern inquired about her all-time favorite driver. “Lewis Hamilton, of course,” she quickly replied, showcasing her clear devotion to the British racing icon.
The Growing Fandom in America
As Formula 1 solidifies its presence in the U.S., the sport is increasingly becoming a mainstream phenomenon. The combination of the dramatic storytelling featured in Drive to Survive, alongside high-stakes races and charismatic drivers like Hamilton, creates a captivating atmosphere for viewers. The sport’s rising popularity amongst celebrities, politicians, and the general public alike reinforces its potential to dominate in yet another market. With passionate advocates like Kamala Harris voicing their fandom, it appears that Formula 1 has an exciting future ahead in America.
