What time is the US Grand Prix? Plan your F1 weekend here!

The championship battle between the two McLarens and Max Verstappen continues this weekend at the Circuit of the Americas. This is the schedule for the upcoming Grand Prix.

After George Russell's victory in Singapore, the Formula 1 grid heads over to North America for a doubleheader in the United States and Mexico.

First, the drivers and teams will face off at the Circuit of the Americas before heading to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

A Sprint will also take place in the United States, so the schedule will look different to a regular weekend.
