Looking at the stats of these four circuits we can see that Ayrton Senna has had the most success in the United States owning Detroit. Ferrari on the other hand had a good run at Long Beach. Predicting the winners of any of these races was always a difficult task due to the unpredictable nature of these tracks.

Drivers were more likely to retire from a race due to mechanical failure or crashes than cross a finish line at these street circuits. In March Miami will be able to log their first set of statistics and with new rules and car setups coming into play, anything is possible.
