Not Exactly as Planned: Charles Leclerc Crashes Niki Lauda's Early 70s Ferrari F1 Car at Monaco

I will second Brian’s comment about F1 at Indy being well attended. I went a few times including 2001 2 weeks after 9/11 and it was sold out.

You'd be surprised ... the Indy 500 is well attended and its racing, which we like here in IN!  And the F1 race in Indy was always very well attended.  It's right in the middle of a lot of large cities and very easy to fly into.

F1 is full of idiots.  Go where the fans are.  That isn't necessarily the same as where luxury cars as sold.  First, go where the Italians are.  NYC, Jersey, Philly, Boston, Rhode Island.  Yeah, there is already a race in Montreal but I would think Watkins or someplace even closer to NYC would far out draw Montreal.  Watkins is even close to Toronto and I bet there are more F1 fans in Toronto than Montreal.  20 years ago the infrastructure probably wouldn't have been good enough.  But the area has grown and, believe it or not, NASCAR has funded a big increase in hotels and restaurants in recent years.  Only slight upgrades would be required of the track.  And it is cheap to operate in the area.

Very few people in Indiana or Texas give a damn about F1.  There are several spots in CA that would work too.  Stick to the NE and CA for F1.
