LEWIS HAMILTON is thrilled Formula One has finally found a home in the United States – but the real proof will come in Las Vegas in November. The Brit, 38, added: “Within our sport, we have to continue to work on making sure we’re having close racing, because I think you’ve seen the social engagement drop a huge amount this year. Meanwhile, the Brit hopes the new F1 film starring Brad Pitt, which he is helping to write the script for, will take the sport to a new audience, particularly with Vegas joining the F1 calendar this season. But we do have to continue to grow and I think the movie particularly is going to help do that. “F1 is the only truly international or global sport and so we need to educate more and more people in it. There’s still many people out there we’ve got to get to catch the bug.
