Stateside motorsport maniacs have a couple more chances to see the F1 stars in their stunning cars on United States soil this year, starting with this month’s United States Grand Prix (October 19). The Las Vegas Grand Prix is still to come in November. F1 continues its global tour. Following the Asian stop-off in Singapore, the teams and drivers now head to the Americas for four races, three of which take place north of the equator (Austin, Mexico City, and Las Vegas) and one south of it (Sao Paulo). Check out how you can view all the remaining action this year, including every single session (practice, qualifying, and grand prix).
Team McLaren may be jetting to the States with the Constructors title safely secured for a second successive season, but there’s still all to play for in the Drivers’ Championship. George Russell consolidated 4th spot in the standings after clinching his second win of the season in Singapore. The Mercedes man may have denied Max Verstappen a third straight victory, but the Dutchman did maintain his solid run of form, which has seen him finish first or second in four straight races.

Former British world champion, Lewis Hamilton, tops the US Grand Prix honors board with 6 wins, followed by Michael Schumacher on 5. Hamilton’s first success came at Indianapolis in 2007, with the remaining five victories all coming in Austin (2012-2017). In more recent times, Max Verstappen has held sway, and the Dutchman almost followed in Hamilton’s and Schumacher’s tire marks by notching four wins on the spin. However, Verstappen failed to add to his 2021, 2022 & 2023 successes last year, as Ferrari dominated in Texas, with Charles Leclerc finishing in front of teammate, Carlos Sainz Jr.

The Circuit of the Americas is staging a sprint weekend once again, which is the first one to take place since the Belgian GP in Spa, back in July. These unique weekends help ensure there are competitive track sessions for fans attending the event and watching on TV on all three days of the race weekend. To further add to the spectators’ excitement, there will be musical acts performing after each day’s track action in Austin. Kygo and country legend Garth Brooks are just two of the 2025 headline stars. In past years, the likes of Taylor Swift, Eminem, Ed Sheeran, to name just a few, have taken to the stage to delight the race crowds.

If you find yourself unable to view the United States Grand Prix locally, you may need a different way to watch the race. That's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on race day, by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're travelling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network. And you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet, or laptop to get access to race action. Most VPNs, like NordVPN, make it really easy to do this.
