Welcome to the Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas, for our second trip Stateside of the year for the United States Grand Prix.
Despite its relatively recent addition to the calendar, this circuit is a modern classic in Formula 1, celebrated for its unashamed cherry-picking of other tracks’ elements to become greater than the sum of its parts.
Because of this, COTA offers a diverse range of corners and straights set among dramatic elevation changes to test drivers and teams to their limits.
Circuit Overview:
The Circuit of The Americas is 5.513 km (3.426 miles) of Texan asphalt with 20 turns that begin with a steep climb to the tight Turn 1 hairpin, a prime spot for overtaking.
A blast through a copy-paste of Silverstone's famous Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel sequence segues into the quick Sector 2, with a sharp hairpin breaking up full-throttle running and preceding the prime passing spot down the back straight.
Sector 3 echoes the Hockenheimring's arena and Istanbul Park's multi-apex Turn 8 to conclude this lap of F1's greatest hits.

Franco to PIT
"It's crazy the amount of Argentinians in the Grandstand. Brazil is going to be insane. Oh my god. There are so many, it's insane. What the f*ck!"
"Be careful with the f-word, mate" 😂

James Vowles to Franco
"Franco, just a mega, mega race. Yes! Come on! Well done. That was perfect. Really, really well delivered. Car's quick, that's what you showed today in the race, so I can't wait to see what it can do in Mexico. Come on, let's keep going."
