Formula One returns to the United States for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic as the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) plays host to the United States Grand Prix.

The 5.5km track is a firm favourite for both fans and drivers. With fast, sweeping bends and a 1km long straight sends drivers soaring past COTA’s iconic observation tower and towards the complex final sequence of corners.

The Circuit of the Americas is an incredible track and the weekend as a whole in Texas is an incredibly cool experience. Austin is definitely one of my favourites cities we visit on the calendar, so I am really excited to head back to the United States. As a circuit, COTA has lots of character and is so fast and flowing but also bumpy, which adds another challenge. All in all, I'm really looking forward to it.

FP1 for the United States Grand Prix will get underway at 5:30 pm BST on Friday, October 22.
