Sunday’s spectacle at Circuit of the Americas had it all—from a famously angry chef and a locally famous lawyer to a Spurs player and a sitting senator. The 2026 U.S. Grand Prix welcomed 400,000 fans from across the globe. Rumor has it a Formula One race took place as well.
Joe Rogan, Gordon Ramsay, Ted Cruz, Spurs forward Harrison Barnes and WNBA player Sophie Cunningham were all present to watch 20-year-old Kimi Antonelli win the Austin Grand Prix and come within two points of clinching the title with five remaining. The Air Force provided a pair of Rockwell B-1 Lancers for a pre-race flyover to drive home the magnitude of the event.
