F1 to have FOUR fan festivals this year!

It has been confirmed that Formula 1 will hold four more fan festival events throughout 2019 - according to RaceFans.

This is in addition to the Season Launch that was announced on Tuesday.

Shanghai will be the first city to host a fan festival - which will take place in the build-up to the 1000th world championship - which is this year's China Grand Prix (April 14th).

USA will host two of the fan festivals - the first being in Chicago, Illinois during the build-up to the Candadian Grand Prix.

The other American city will be Los Angeles, California, in the build-up to the October United States Grand Prix in Texas.

Brazil - and its iconic city, Rio de Janeiro will be the fourth and final city to host the fan festival - which will predictably be held the weekend of the Brazilian Grand Prix.
