If the corners at Circuit of the Americas seem familiar, they should be. Turns 3 through 6 look not dissimilar to Silverstone’s high-speed run through Maggotts/Becketts or the S Curves at Suzuka, while Turns 12 through 15 mimic Hockenheim’s stadium section. Meanwhile, the uphill run into wide, wide Turn 1 – hey, everything’s bigger in Texas, right? – has provided some fine overtaking action in the track’s short life.
There’s a reason Austin is often regarded as America’s coolest city, with great food and a vibrant nightlife, all united under the banner of the city’s unofficial slogan: ‘Keep Austin Weird’. Then when racing starts, you’ll be in attendance at one of the great modern race tracks. With the Americans’ attitude to partying, you won’t want to miss out!
Follow us later in the afternoon for the latest news, info, updates and live results from the Circuit of the Americas, as the second free practice session for the 2021 United States Grand Prix is about to get underway, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc at the wheel of the Maranello team’s SF21, ready to continue evaluating the ideal set-up ahead of qualifying and the US event.
