Ahead of the US Grand Prix, set to get underway at 2pm local time (8pm BST), F1 announced that the United States GP will remain at COTA, on the official calendar until 2034.
The venue has been home to the US Grand Prix since 2012, prompting six different winners during its tenure on the calendar, including Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton who holds the all-time record of five race wins at the 5.5 kilometre circuit.
The reasoning behind this is due to the sports’ growth and momentum in the country. F1 has enjoyed growing their fanbase up to 52 million, which stands as an 11% increase year-on-year, with over 5.5 million all-time US followers on its social media channels.
“Since 2012 the United States Grand Prix has continued to grow in strength and popularity, and I want to thank the City of Austin and Travis County for hosting us,” commented Formula 1 President and CEO, Stefano Domenicali.
“Each year, the event at the Circuit of the Americas stands out as a true highlight for fans, drivers, and teams alike, drawing hundreds of thousands of passionate supporters who come to witness the thrilling on-track action and soak up the vibrant energy of the circuit and the city.
“As Formula 1 continues to grow and thrive in the United States, we are proud to extend our partnership with Bobby Epstein and his outstanding team in Austin, as well as with Governor Abbott, whose leadership has been instrumental in supporting the sport’s development in Texas and beyond.
“Both have shown unwavering commitment to F1, and their shared vision and investment have played a vital role in establishing the strong foundation we now enjoy in the U.S.”
COTA draws over 430,000 fans to the venue and showcases thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing and overtaking for those in attendance, like Max Verstappen’s (Red Bull) and Lando Norris’ (McLaren) battle last season as the two locked in for a late title fight, ultimately won by the Red Bull driver.
Additionally, F1’s presence in the region helps the local economy as the US Grand Prix helped deliver a $7 billion impact to Austin and Texas. According to F1, the 2023 Grand Prix attracted a direct and indirect expenditure of more than $1 billion, which resulted in $38 million of tax receipts for Texas.
“We’re glad Formula 1 has found a home in Texas, and are grateful to the fans, teams, and the entire F1 community who have consistently supported us and made The United States Grand Prix a favorite stop on the global calendar,” said Chairman of Circuit of The Americas, Bobby Epstein.
“Equally, we’re proud of – and appreciate – the people of Central Texas who have been such welcoming hosts! With this contract, COTA will overtake Watkins Glen as the longest-serving Formula 1 track in the United States.
“Thanks to the great support and a wonderful host city, the United States Grand Prix has grown to be one of the world’s biggest single weekend sporting events – with an unrivalled annual economic impact.”
The United States Grand Prix will get underway at 2pm local time with Verstappen leading the pack from pole position as the four-time world champion battles to reign in the McLarens to fight for his fifth consecutive drivers title.
Norris and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc will start alongside and behind the Dutchman, respectively, as they race up the 40m hill into turn one, a place where chaos can reign – like the Sprint on Saturday.
