George Russell<\/a> won from pole last time out at the Singapore Grand Prix, but it was McLaren<\/a> who stole the headlines as it clinched the 2025 Formula 1 constructors\u2019 championship.<\/p>\n

Lando Norris<\/a> and Oscar Piastri<\/a> finished third and fourth respectively to seal a consecutive title for McLaren, but it was always a foregone conclusion ever since it had the quickest car at the Melbourne opener.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What isn\u2019t a foregone conclusion though, is who will be crowned drivers\u2019 champion this year. Piastri leads the way on 336 points, second-placed Norris is 22 behind while reigning champion Max Verstappen<\/a> is just clinging on, as the Red Bull driver is 63 points off top and on better form than the McLaren pair.<\/p>\n

This is all with six rounds remaining, starting with this weekend\u2019s United States Grand Prix in Austin which was won by Charles Leclerc<\/a> last year in a Ferrari<\/a> 1-2.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unlikely Ferrari will repeat that result given it is now arguably F1\u2019s fourth-best team, but it will be interesting to see how the driver fight develops and if Piastri can fend off the scare from behind having not finished above either of Norris or Verstappen since his Zandvoort victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So here is all you need to know to follow the action at Circuit of the Americas, which is also a sprint weekend.<\/p>\n

Key facts about the F1 United States GP<\/p>\n

When was the first United States Grand Prix?<\/p>\n

The United States Grand Prix dates back to 1959 when it made its F1 debut at Sebring, in which Bruce McLaren was the eventual winner in a Cooper. It remained on the calendar until 1980, with the US Grand Prix then being very on-and-off between 1981 and 2011. But, it now seems to be on the calendar for good and having found its permanent home in Austin, as it has featured every year – bar the COVID-affected 2020 – since 2012.<\/p>\n

Who won the 2024 United States Grand Prix?<\/p>\n

Charles Leclerc won the 2024 United States Grand Prix, edging out Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz<\/a> in second with Max Verstappen third. That was despite Leclerc starting fourth, as he gained first on the opening lap after jumping Sainz at the start, before going down the inside of Turn 1 taking advantage of the wheel-to-wheel battle between Verstappen and poleman Lando Norris.<\/p>\n
