The Circuit of the Americas is hosting the U.S. Grand Prix for
the 13th time and using the sprint format for the third year in a row.
Lewis Hamilton (2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017), Max Verstappen (2021, 2022, 2023) and Leclerc (2024) are the only active F1 drivers to have won in Austin.
McLaren have only one win at the Texas circuit, with Hamilton in 2012.
Hamilton is the most successful driver in U.S. GP history with six victories (one at Indianapolis).
Hamilton has started three times on pole position. Verstappen (from sixth in 2023) and Leclerc (from fourth) are the only drivers to have won after starting off the front row of the grid.
The 20-turn circuit runs counter-clockwise, one of nine on the calendar to do so, and is naturally undulating with a steep incline up to a hairpin from the start. It is quite high downforce and weather can be unpredictable.
DRIVERS' CHAMPIONSHIP
McLaren's Oscar Piastri leads teammate Norris by 22 points with six rounds, and three Saturday sprint races, remaining. Red Bull's Max Verstappen is third and 63 points off the lead.
CONSTRUCTORS' TITLE
Defending champions McLaren clinched the team's 10th constructors' championship at this month's Singapore Grand Prix.
WINS
Piastri has won seven times this season, Norris five, Verstappen four and Mercedes' George Russell twice.
Hamilton has not won since his career 105th victory in Belgium on July 28, 2024. Ferrari have not won since Mexico on October 27 last year.
Verstappen has won 67 grands prix and is third on the all-time list after Michael Schumacher on 91.
McLaren have won 12 of 18 races this year.
POLE POSITION
Verstappen has been on pole six times this season, Piastri five, Norris four, Russell twice and Leclerc once.
PODIUM
Piastri and Norris have both been on the podium 14 times in 18 races.
Piastri has now been absent from the podium in two successive races, the first time that has happened this season.
Leclerc's second place in Monaco remains Ferrari's best of the season. The Monegasque has five podiums for the season. Hamilton has yet to stand on the podium for Ferrari.
Nine drivers from seven teams have been on the podium in 2025.
POINTS
Alpine rookie Franco Colapinto is the only driver on the grid yet to score this year.
No driver has scored in every race.
