Formula 1 is coming to the United States for the second time this season, with the F1 US Grand Prix slated for October 23 at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. ESPN’s family of channels will air the practice trials while the main event will be televised on ABC and simulcast on ESPN3. Pre-race coverage begins at 1:30 p.m. ET while the race begins at 3:00 p.m. ET.
Last year’s F1 champion Max Verstappen heads into the weekend with a healthy lead in the standings and just four races left on the calendar. Verstappen has won 12 races so far this season, including the Japanese GP earlier this month and the Miami GP during F1’s only other stop in the US this year. Verstappen’s Red Bull Racing team-mate Sergio Pérez is second in the standings, just a point clear of Scuderia Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
