Formula 1 is back in the United States for the second time this season, after the first edition of thr Miami Grand Prix took place back in May at the Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens.
Red Bull Dutch driver Max Verstappen has won the 2022 Formula One World Championship at the end of the Japanese Grand Prix last time out, but that doesn’t mean there will be less interest for the Austin event.
The party kicks off when the world’s most glamorous motor sport comes to Texas for the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas on Sunday, Oct. 23.
But of course, there’s just as much entertainment to enjoy also outside the venue, with the likes of Post Malone, Renée Zellweger, Ed Sheeran and more A-listers descending upon the city for a slew of star-studded fêtes.
Find out everything you need to know about what’s happening across the US Grand Prix weekend in terms of parties and events.
