Pick the Podium - F-1 - The United States Grand Prix, Circuit if the Americas, Austin, TX, October 20-22, 2023.

One of these years I want to meander on up to Austin to see this race in person. It is on my bucket list. At any rate, F-1 visits America twice in the next four weeks as they have their second appearance in Las Vegas. Since Verstappen has his Third trophy already, we will be watching the other teams' planning and jockeying for next season including Perez. BTW, this is another Sprint race that everyone enjoys so much so we can start thinking about those 8 selections for Saturday. Woohoo!!

LeClerc grabs the pole as Verstappen had his time dismissed but managed to finish sixth for the Sprint shootout.

Latest analysis from COTA indicated the Texas owner told F-1 that the Sprint format does little-to-nothing to improve live attendance numbers or boost bucks at the gate!!
