After purchasing the commercial rights to the sport from [[CVC Capital Partners]] in January 2017, [[Liberty Media]] announced plans to expand the Formula One calendar using a concept they termed "destination races" and modelled on the [[Singapore Grand Prix]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/135770/f1-promises-not-to-turn-its-back-on-europe|title=F1 promises it won't turn its back on Europe with new races in US and Asia|first1=Oriol|last1=Puigdemont|first2=Jonathan|last2=Noble|work=[[Autosport|autosport.com]]|publisher=[[Motorsport Network]]|date=3 May 2018|accessdate=4 May 2018}}</ref> Under the "destination races" model, Grands Prix would be established in or near key tourist destinations and integrate racing, entertainment and social functions with the aim of making the sport more accessible and appealing to a wider audience.
