Formula 1 heads to Texas as the United States Grand Prix takes over the Circuit of the Americas from October 23 to 25. This year the weekend follows the standard format with practice sessions on Friday, qualifying on Saturday and the 56 lap race on Sunday.
The 5.5 kilometer circuit in Austin is known for its elevation changes and the steep climb into Turn 1, which often produces dramatic starts. Teams will be pushing hard as the championship battle intensifies in the closing stages of the season.
Expect big crowds, live music and a festival atmosphere all weekend long.
