It takes place from 23 to 25 October 2026. The race will be held at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. It is the 18th round of the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a normal race weekend, not a Sprint weekend. Teams get three practice sessions, qualifying on Saturday and the Grand Prix on Sunday. It is the first time since 2022 that COTA has no Sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weekend could also decide the Drivers\u2019 Championship. Kimi Antonelli leads with 340 points, while George Russell is second on 238. Lewis Hamilton is third with 229 points. Antonelli can win the title in Austin, but only if the results go his way.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"bet-ad js-bet-ad-insert\" data-size=\"responsive\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-f1-united-states-gp-a-texas-race-with-a-title-twist\">F1 United States GP: A Texas Race with a Title Twist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>COTA has hosted the United States Grand Prix every year since 2012. The only break was 2020, when the race was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Formula 1 has also announced that the circuit will stay on the calendar through 2034.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Austin starts a run of three races in the Americas. Mexico City follows from 30 October to 1 November. S\u00e3o Paulo comes the weekend after that. Five races will remain after Austin. That leaves a maximum of 125 points for the drivers to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-memorable-moments-at-the-f1-united-states-gp\">Memorable Moments at the F1 United States GP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2012 \u2013 COTA Hosts Its First Grand Prix<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States Grand Prix moved to the Circuit of the Americas in 2012. Lewis Hamilton won that first race in Austin. He went on to win four more times there. No driver has won more races at COTA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2018 \u2013 Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen Wins for Ferrari<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen won the 2018 race. It was his first win for Ferrari since the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix. It was also the last win of his F1 career. Ferrari had not won in the United States since 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2024 \u2013 Charles Leclerc Leads a Ferrari One-Two<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charles Leclerc won the 2024 race ahead of his teammate Carlos Sainz. His winning time was 1:35:09.639. It was Ferrari\u2019s first one-two finish in the United States since 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2025 \u2013 Max Verstappen Wins from Pole<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max Verstappen won the 2025 United States Grand Prix from pole position. His pole lap was 1:32.510. He had also won the Sprint a day earlier. Lando Norris passed Charles Leclerc to finish second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-f1-united-states-gp-last-time-winner\">F1 United States GP: Last Time Winner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 2025 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix race, Max Verstappen became the winner for Red Bull Racing. Verstappen covered 56 laps in 1 hour, 34 minutes, and 0.161 seconds. Lando Norris came second in the race and was 7.959 seconds behind Verstappen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2025-f1-united-states-gp-podium\">2025 F1 United States GP Podium:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Driver<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Team<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>1st<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Max Verstappen<\/td><td>Red Bull Racing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>2nd<\/strong><\/td><td>Lando Norris<\/td><td>McLaren<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>3rd<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Charles Leclerc<\/td><td>Ferrari<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-f1-united-states-gp-event-details\">F1 United States GP: Event Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Event Details<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Information<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Main Event<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>F1 United States Grand Prix 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Official Name<\/strong><\/td><td>Formula 1 MSC Cruises United States Grand Prix 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Round<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Round 18<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Date<\/strong><\/td><td>23\u201325 October 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Venue<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Circuit of The Americas<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Location<\/strong><\/td><td>Austin, Texas, USA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Race Date<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>25 October 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Race Start Time<\/strong><\/td><td>03:00 PM CDT | 04:00 PM ET | 01:00 PM PT | 01:30 AM IST (Next day)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Format<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Standard Weekend (No Sprint)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Time Zone<\/strong><\/td><td>UTC\u22125 (CDT)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-f1-united-states-gp-circuit-details\">F1 United States GP: Circuit Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-event-and-circuit-specifications\">Key Event and Circuit Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Attributes<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Details<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Circuit Name<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Circuit of The Americas<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Location<\/strong><\/td><td>Austin, Texas, USA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Circuit Length<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>5.513 km<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Race Distance<\/strong><\/td><td>308.405 km<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Number of Laps<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>56<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Number of Turns<\/strong><\/td><td>20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>First Grand Prix<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>2012<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Current Lap Record<\/strong><\/td><td>1:36.169<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lap Record Holder<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Charles Leclerc<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lap Record Year<\/strong><\/td><td>2019<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The F1 United States GP has a 5.513 km circuit length, 56 laps, and a 308.405 km race distance. The table has Leclerc\u2019s 1:36.169 as the fastest lap, set in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-f1-united-states-gp-circuit-overview\">F1 United States GP: Circuit Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Circuit of the Americas is a road race circuit located on the outskirts of Austin, Texas. This circuit was built in 2012 by Hermann Tilke and has 20 turns that go in a counter-clockwise direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many corners that have been copied from other tracks. There is a good mixture of quick sweeps and hairpin corners, along with a long back straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Uphill Start and Turn 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drivers start from a very steep hill to Turn 1. This is a wide turn that has numerous racing lines. This means that the first lap will be hectic with overtaking opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. The Esses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turns 3 to 6 comprise a fast-flowing complex. This is similar to the Maggotts and Becketts complex at Silverstone. Smoothness is important to maintain speed throughout the turns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Overtaking and Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DRS is useful for overtaking when going into Turn 12 and entering Turn 1. Qualifying remains important since a good starting position is beneficial in the race. For instance, in 2025, Norris overtook Leclerc to finish second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Stadium Section and Track Limits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turns 12 to 15 are a replica of the stadium complex at Hockenheim in Germany. Turn 19 is also a difficult turn. Track limits remain an issue here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-f1-united-states-gp-full-schedule\">F1 United States GP: Full Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Date &amp; Day<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Series<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Session<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Local Time<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Friday, 23 October<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Masters Historic<\/td><td>Practice Session<\/td><td>09:45\u201310:10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>FIA<\/td><td>F1 Car Presentation<\/td><td>11:00\u201312:00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Formula 1<\/td><td>First Practice Session<\/td><td>12:30\u201313:30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Porsche Carrera Cup North America<\/td><td>Practice Session<\/td><td>14:00\u201314:30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Formula 1<\/td><td>Teams\u2019 Press Conference<\/td><td>14:30\u201315:30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Masters Historic<\/td><td>Qualifying Session<\/td><td>14:55\u201315:20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Formula 1<\/td><td>Second Practice Session<\/td><td>16:00\u201317:00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>F1 Academy<\/td><td>Opening Race \u2013 13 Laps or 30 Mins +1 Lap<\/td><td>17:50\u201318:25<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Saturday, 24 October<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Porsche Carrera Cup North America<\/td><td>Qualifying Session<\/td><td>09:10\u201309:40<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Masters Historic<\/td><td>First Race \u2013 25 Mins<\/td><td>10:10\u201310:40<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Formula 1<\/td><td>Third Practice Session<\/td><td>12:30\u201313:30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Porsche Carrera Cup North America<\/td><td>First Race \u2013 35 Mins<\/td><td>14:35\u201315:15<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Formula 1<\/td><td>Qualifying Session<\/td><td>16:00\u201317:00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Formula 1<\/td><td>Press Conference<\/td><td>17:00\u201318:00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>F1 Academy<\/td><td>Reverse Grid Race \u2013 13 Laps or 30 Mins +1 Lap<\/td><td>18:00\u201318:35<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sunday, 25 October<\/strong><\/td><td>Masters Historic<\/td><td>Second Race \u2013 25 Mins<\/td><td>09:25\u201309:55<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Porsche Carrera Cup North America<\/td><td>Second Race \u2013 35 Mins<\/td><td>10:35\u201311:15<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>F1 Academy<\/td><td>Feature Race \u2013 13 Laps or 30 Mins +1 Lap<\/td><td>12:00\u201312:30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Formula 1<\/td><td>Drivers\u2019 Parade<\/td><td>13:00\u201313:30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Formula 1<\/td><td>National Anthem<\/td><td>14:44\u201314:46<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td>Formula 1<\/td><td>Grand Prix \u2013 56 Laps or 120 Mins<\/td><td>15:00\u201317:00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Austin is 5 hours behind UTC.

The 20-year-old has 340 points and eight wins this season. In Singapore, he had track-limit problems and brake issues. He still finished third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Austin has not been kind to him yet. He finished 13th there in 2025 and has no wins at the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-max-verstappen\">Max Verstappen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Verstappen arrives in great form. He has won the last two Grand Prix, in Malaysia and Singapore. He won the Singapore GP from pole position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has already won the United States Grand Prix at COTA four times (2021, 2022, 2023, and 2025). One more would match Hamilton\u2019s record of five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lewis-hamilton\">Lewis Hamilton<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamilton has more wins at COTA than anyone else. He won in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. He finished fourth there in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His 2026 season includes one win, at Barcelona in June. Singapore was a bad day. A Ferrari strategy error cost him a likely podium, and he finished sixth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-f1-united-states-gp-weather-watch\">F1 United States GP: Weather Watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>October is usually warm in Austin. Daytime highs are often around 25\u00b0C or higher. Nights are cooler, at about 14\u00b0C to 15\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rain can still appear. A big storm hit the race weekend in 2015, and bad weather came before the 2018 race. Check the latest forecast in race week, because conditions can change fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-f1-united-states-gp-what-makes-the-race-special\">F1 United States GP: What Makes the Race Special?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The F1 United States GP has several features that stand out. The track has a steep uphill first corner, fast esses, and a long back straight. The race starts at 3 PM local time, in daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2026, it is a standard weekend with no Sprint. It is also the first race of the Americas triple-header. Most of all, it gives Antonelli his first chance to win the world title.
