Austin launched the U.S. Grand Prix in 2012, signing a 10-year deal with F1. The race was extended for five more years in 2022, drawing crowds of 430,000 to 450,000 each year and welcoming tens of thousands of visitors from around the world.

Formula 1 is making its second annual stop in the United States for the 2025 U.S. Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. COTA hosted its inaugural F1 race in 2012, just a month after the circuit's grand opening. Austin replaced Indianapolis as the host of the USGP after the series' five-year break from racing on American soil.

Max Verstappen finished second in Singapore and is 63 points off Piastri in the title race, while George Russell claimed his second victory of the season in the city-state. The British driver, alongside teammate Kimi Antonelli, extended his contract with Mercedes on Wednesday.

This Sunday, the United States Grand Prix race will take place, which will be the 19th round of the Formula 1 World Championship. In the final stretch of the championship, McLaren's Lando Norris from Britain and Oscar Piastri from Australia, the season leader, will battle with Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull) for the crown.
