About This Event
Practice 1 for the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix is the opening free-practice session of the Austin race weekend, in which teams and drivers run the cars to test setups and collect performance data ahead of qualifying and the race. The session takes place at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, a 3.41-mile, 20-turn counterclockwise track noted for its steep Turn 1 and undulating layout. It serves as a key opportunity for teams to evaluate tyre compounds, aerodynamic settings and race strategies under competitive track conditions.
