What can we expect as F1 returns to the Circuit of the Americas for the United States Grand Prix?
The 18th round of the Formula 1 season, the United States Grand Prix, will be held at the Circuit of the Americas this weekend. Last time out in Qatar, Max Verstappen secured his third title during the Sprint race on Saturday. The F1 Sprint format will return for the fifth time this year in the USA. In last year’s race at COTA, Verstappen had an intense battle with Charles Leclerc, while Carlos Sainz collided with George Russell. Daniel Ricciardo will return to racing with AlphaTauri after recovering from a hand injury, aiming to perform well in preparation for next year’s full season. The hot weather in Texas will be a challenge for the drivers, although not as demanding as in Qatar. Haas will unveil substantial updates for their car at COTA, hoping to improve their performance and gain insights for next season. This marks a new direction for the team after struggling at the bottom of the grid for several years.
