Time: October 17-19, 2025
Location: Circuit of The Americas (COTA), Austin, Texas, USA
The pinnacle of American motorsport roars back to Austin as the Circuit of The Americas hosts the United States Grand Prix, a pivotal sprint weekend in the 2025 championship battle! Reigning rivals Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris (McLaren) reignite their simmering rivalry on a track where their wheel-to-wheel duel could fracture team harmony, while Max Verstappen (Red Bull) and George Russell (Mercedes) lurk as dark horses hungry to disrupt McLaren’s dominance. COTA’s 5.513-kilometer masterpiece—featuring the dramatic uphill climb into Turn 1 and the high-speed dance through the Esses—demands fearless precision and tire management mastery. With Pirelli’s softest C4 rubber pushed to the limit on abrasive asphalt, and sudden Texas weather swings threatening chaos, every DRS-assisted lunge down the back straight could rewrite title fortunes. Amidst the roar of 400,000 fans and the glow of Austin’s live-music fervor, this is where engineering genius collides with Southern grit under the Lone Star sky.
