This entails overseeing the selling of tickets, extravagant hospitality, sponsorships, mementos, and parking lots among other duties. However, with ticket prices starting at $1,600, it appears that selling all the tickets is turning into a nightmare. Nevertheless, F1 has a solution to fill the gap.
