Honda wants F1 to return to the US soon

Honda's Formula 1 team boss Nicky Fry has said it will be very important for Honda to see Formula 1 return to the United States as soon as possible. Last week the Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced that it will not host the US Grand Prix next season.

"We're very disappointed indeed by the loss of Indy," Fry told Autosport. "The US is one of the most important markets ­and a global property such as Formula One needs to be represented in the biggest market where motor manufacturers are key players.

"If we can't go back to Indy, we would urge an alternative venue as quickly as possible. Even if there were two or three races - one of each coast ­- we would still be very keen. It's a critical matter."
