Few Grands Prix have moved house as often. The United States Grand Prix has been held at six circuits: Sebring and Riverside at the start, twenty years at Watkins Glen (1961 to 1980), three on the streets of Phoenix, eight at Indianapolis and, since 2012, the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, which has now hosted thirteen editions.

Lewis Hamilton has won it more than anyone, six times, ahead of Michael Schumacher on five and Max Verstappen on four. And two titles have been settled in Austin, both Hamilton's: in 2015 by winning the race and in 2019 by finishing second.

The next edition is on 25 October 2026, in Austin. On the Saturday, with the official grid, we publish the preview with every driver's odds.

The bar is wins. Points are each era's points added as they were, so they favour whoever raced under the current system (25 for a win since 2010). Fastest laps are only counted from 2004.

In our simulator this is the 26th of 30 circuits where the starting position matters most. It comes from the real races from 2014 to 2025: at each circuit we measure how closely the finishing order matches the starting order among the cars that finish, and the engine is tuned to reproduce it.
