Formula 1 heads to Austin for the 19th race of the season as the Circuit of the Americas hosts the United States Grand Prix on Sunday—the fourth sprint race weekend of this season. 

Mercedes' George Russell came out on top at the Singapore Grand Prix, claiming his second title of this season. With that victory, Russell's long wait for his 2026 contract also ended, as he will continue to drive Mercedes next year along with his driver, Kimi Antonelli. 

With just 6 races remaining in the calendar, the title fight for the driver's championship is intensifying. Oscar Piastri continued to dominate the driver's chart with 336 points, followed by his McLaren teammate Lando Norris at second with 314 points and Red Bull's Max Verstappen at third with 273 points. 

McLaren clinched their second consecutive constructor's title at the Singapore Grand Prix; they claimed the title with six rounds to spare.

The 2025 United States Grand Prix race is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
