Overview

• The United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas is the 19th race of 2025 and a sprint weekend, with sessions in Central Time at 19:30 Fri (FP1), 23:30 Fri (Sprint Qualifying), 19:00 Sat (Sprint), 23:00 Sat (Qualifying) and 21:00 Sun (Race).
• In Germany, Sky/WOW will show every session live, RTL+ will stream only the sprint, and Sky Sport F1 plans extensive replays and even press conference coverage, with late-night slots due to the seven‑hour time difference.
• Austrian coverage for this round runs on ORF as part of the ORF/ServusTV split, while Swiss viewers can watch on SRF zwei and SRF info and stream via Play SRF.
• Formula 1 announced new F1 Grid Gigs pre‑race concerts for Austin and Las Vegas, starting with country singer Drake Milligan in Texas, with performances staged before cars head to the grid and without interrupting the race.
• COTA’s 5.513‑km layout and the steep, blind Turn 1 contribute to unpredictable outcomes, reinforcing the importance of setup and strategy in a weekend where qualifying has not always dictated the winner.
