Formula 1 has confirmed a live event will be held in Hollywood ahead of the United States Grand Prix next month, with Max Verstappen, Daniel Ricciardo and Valtteri Bottas all in action.

Previous events have been held in Miami and Chicago, to mixed reaction from those in attendance.

Last year's event in Chicago was a particular disappointment, with fans venting fury at high concession prices, no merchandise on sale and limited track action.

To make things even worse, several of the cars on show broke down.

And it seems F1 has learned from that mistake with three of F1's biggest stars set to make appearances on Hollywood Boulevard, with entry free of charge for fans.

According to F1, the trio will "roar up and down the Blvd, with a high-adrenaline live show, showcasing the thrilling spectacle that the pinnacle of motorsport has to offer."

F1 commercial chief Sean Bratches said: "LA is an iconic city, known for all things showbiz and we are extremely excited to be adding F1 to the Hollywood walk of fame, as we take over the Blvd for the first time.

"It’s very important that fans get to experience F1 in city centres and that we showcase what Formula 1 has to offer to the US market."
