Miami Grand Prix alone generates about $400 million in economic impact for the city during the race weekend, this figure is higher than the annual revenue Formula 1 receives from the American market through broadcast rights, hosting fees, and other sources combined.

I actually read an article on EssentaillySports that the teams are pushing to increase the anti-dilution fee in the new Concorde Agreement to an astronomical amount of $750 million. If true, that would turn away any potential future teams as they would be asking prospective entrants to fork out over $1B just to enter ($750M for the fee, $300M+ for setting up the facilities and hiring the staff). I'm beginning to think that maybe Ben Sulayem was on to something about the teams over-inflating their value, as that fee is not based on any intrinsic reality based value but rather on a projected future value.

HAAS may be owned by an American citizen, but a large portion of the team operates out of the UK and they acquire a majority of their parts from Italian companies (Ferrari for the engine and Dallara for the chassis). The Andretti-Cadillac bid would wholly American as they would use the main Andretti base in Indiana, the GM engine development facility in North Carolina, and the satellite base in Silverstone (which is in the process of expanding from 48k sq ft to include an additional 70k sq ft). Besides, HAAS lost a lot of credibility for this American F1 fan (been a fan since the V10 era in the early 2000s) after they sold out to the Russians.
