Formula 1 applies for trademarks for a Chicago Grand Prix

After the financial success of NASCAR in Chicago last summer, Formula 1 now wants in on the action.

Formula 1, the most popular auto racing brand in the world, is sniffing around about what they can do to bring a street race to the Windy City. “I’m very excited. If F1 comes to Chicago, that would be awesome. Definitely should happen,” said Ted Birks with Chicago F1.

This announcement has made fans uneasy after the disastrous Las Vegas Grand Prix last year.
