This coming weekend, Formula 1 returns to the United States and has not wanted to miss the opportunity to partner with the American National Basketball League to give visibility to its 75th anniversary.
The National Basketball Association (NBA) organizes the best league in the world of basket sport and has an unparalleled international impact. While other American leagues such as the NFL football or MLB baseball have larger audiences in their home country, the NBA is unrivaled in scope in the world.
For this reason, it is not surprising that the league of basketball stars has agreed to celebrate the start of its 75th season with another discipline with worldwide repercussions such as Formula 1. In this way, both championships reinforce their position in two markets in which they have always been very interested: the American for F1 and the European and Asian for the NBA.

The NBA has established a significant international presence with games and programming available in 215 countries and territories in more than 50 languages, as well as merchandise for sale in more than 100,000 stores in 100 countries on six continents. NBA rosters at the start of the 2021-22 season boasted a record of 121 international players from 40 countries.
And what better way to celebrate the start of the 75th season in its history than by decorating the 2022 car with the colors of all the teams in a league in which six Spaniards currently compete: Ricky Rubio in the Cleveland Cavaliers, Serge Ibaka in Los Angeles Clippers, Juancho Hernangómez in the Minnesota Timberwolves, his brother Willy in the New Orleans Pelicans, Usman Garuba in the Houston Rockets and Santi Aldama in the Memphis Grizzlies.
