Qualifying - The Grid
The only American F1 circuit, based in Austin, TX, is fast becoming one to watch and a driver’s favourite.
With difficult high speed sections and exciting long straights, the design of the track combines to deliver fast paced, exciting racing.
Extremely hot and dusty, this track is a serious physical and mental challenge for the drivers. Last year Hamilton took home the win, with Rosberg finishing up in second place as the battle for the championship raged.
