The 2022
United States Grand Prix is set to take place in Austin which is the capital city of the US state of Texas on October 23.
This will be the 19th round of the 2022 FIA Formula One World Championship season and it will be held at the Circuit of the Americas.
The Circuit of the Americas is a track that’s been built specifically with Formula One in mind, and as such, is one of the most exciting races for both drivers and fans.
The most recent race in the 2022 FIA Formula One World Championship season was the Japanese Grand Prix which was won by Red Bull Racing RBPT's Max Verstappen on October 9.

Red Bull Racing's Sergio Perez and Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc finished second and third respectively in an event that took place at the Suzuka International Racing Course.
Verstappen clinched the 2022 Drivers' Championship just after the Japanese Grand Prix having accumulated 366 points with four races left this season as he successfully retained his Formula One world title.
The battle to finish second is still on with Perez (253 points) and Leclerc (252 points) placed second and third respectively in the standings heading into the United States Grand Prix.
While Mercedes' George Russell (207 points), Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr (202 points), and Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton (180 points) are placed fourth, fifth and sixth respectively in the table.

"Obviously, [starting on] the back foot with the Hard [tyre], [I was] trying to risk, trying to make a comeback," Sainz Jr said after being forced to retire at the Japanese Grand Prix.
"I misjudged the grip and I made a mistake – a driver mistake, which I haven't done in a while. [It] definitely has cost me a lot this weekend.
"[The] conclusion [is] we just need to be more perfect, both from my side and from our team, and make sure that we are in the fight next time."
Red Bull Racing-RBPT are close to clinching the Constructors' Championship having accumulated 619 points and they are followed by Ferrari with 454 points and Mercedes with 387 points respectively.
