The United States Grand Prix is already one for the Formula 1 history books – and the engines haven't even been fired up for practice yet.
The race weekend at Austin's Circuit of the Americas marks the second time the F1 circus has travelled Stateside this season. That has not happened for almost four decades – the year was 1984 when two separate races were last held in such an important market, which until recently the sport has struggled to truly penetrate.
The 2022 edition of the US GP also marks the 10th anniversary of F1 races at COTA. That in itself is impressive, given no other country has hosted races at more different venues (11) than the US.
