Between F1 and Austin, it’s a love story that will last! The United States Grand Prix, organized on the Circuit of the Americas since 2012, has extended its contract with the Formula 1. The event, popular with fans and drivers alike, has ensured that it remains on the F1 calendar until 2026. Last year, the GP welcomed almost 400 spectators, a record crowd. The time has come for contract extensions for F000 circuits. Two weeks ago, Bahrain signed a very long-term contract… until 2036.

« I would like to thank the promoters for their dedication and enthusiasm for F1, said Stefano Domenicali, President of the F1 Group. Together, we continue to grow interest in our sport in the United States, building on the colossal success of Drive to Survive, the work of ESPN and the incredible 2021 season. Austin is a great city, and the circuit is one of the drivers' favorites. »

The United States Grand Prix, which has long smiled on Lewis Hamilton in recent seasons, has been won by Max Verstappen (Red Bull) in 2021, ahead of the seven-time world champion. The next edition of the United States GP will take place from October 21 to 23. With this announcement, F1 confirms the strategic interest in the American market. Next season, Uncle Sam's country will host a 2nd Grand Prix, in Miami, from May 6 to 8, 2022.
