Formula One will return to Austin, Texas, to hold its 9th consecutive United States Grand Prix this weekend. The sport is returning to the Circuit of The Americas after a hiatus of a year. There was no US GP in 2020 because of Covid-19 restrictions in the country.
The fans will get a chance in 2021 to witness the fastest cars in the world once again. But because of high demand, most of the tickets at the circuit have been sold out.
No F1 fan in the United States wants to miss the action on the track this season. Unlike past seasons, the interest in the sport has grown because of the Netflix Drive to Survive series and an intense championship battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
