The 2025 Formula 1 season is entering its very hot phase. This week, the sixth last racing weekend of the year takes place with the US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin. Where can the race on the spectacular course in Texas be seen on television and in the stream? sport.de has put together all the important information about this.
The USA Grand Prix has been held at the Circuit of the Americas since 2012. Since then, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen in particular have shone in Austin. Record world champion Hamilton has won five editions of the USA race, and Max Verstappen won three times in a row between 2021 and 2023.
Charles Leclerc is listed as the race winner from last year. The Ferrari star celebrated his last Formula 1 Grand Prix victory to date at the last edition of the Austin race.
The favorites this year are the McLaren duo Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, who are still leading the driver classification despite a recent weak phase.
Who will set the next mark in the fight for the drivers’ championship? Can Max Verstappen in the Red Bull still catch up? And where does the only German F1 driver Nico Hülkenberg end up?
