As the Formula 1 machine prepares to touch down in Texas, only a few days remain for fans to secure their tickets to one of the biggest race weekends in motorsports.
The United States Grand Prix broke Formula 1 records in 2021, with more than 400,000 spectators in attendance over the course of the event. Gearheads and newbies alike flocked to Circuit of the Americas, bringing huge passion and enthusiasm to the country’s oldest F1 race. Max Verstappen of Red Bull roared to victory in last year’s running, and he will be looking for a repeat performance this time around to celebrate his recent capture of the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship.
While Verstappen’s fans will be delighted to cheer their champion, the US Grand Prix is anything but a foregone conclusion. Sergio Pérez and Charles Leclerc are still fiercely battling it out for second place in the drivers’ standings, with just 1 point separating them after Leclerc finished second to Verstappen in the Japanese Grand Prix. These drivers will give everything in Austin to improve their chances, and the spectators are likely to come out the real winners.
The Constructors’ Championship is also still up for grabs, although all signs point to Red Bull securing their first title since 2013. If one of Christian Horner’s drivers wins the race in Texas, the championship is secured for Red Bull, as second-place Ferrari will have no way to make up the points difference in the season’s 3 remaining races.
With so much at stake this weekend, the atmosphere at Circuit of the Americas is sure to be spectacular. Organisers are expecting to match or even exceed 2021’s record-breaking attendance figures, and with just a few days to go before the weekend gets underway, time is running out for fans to book their place in the crowd. Concerts from Green Day and Ed Sheeran are the icing on the cake for this festival of motorsports.
Grandstand seating is still available, with weekend passes starting at USD $570 for a spot at Turn 12. Turn 1 is a fan favourite at the circuit, enjoying an elevated position at the top of a 133 ft hill. The stunning views from this grandstand are on sale from USD $830 for all 3 days of the Grand Prix weekend.
If grandstand seating stretches the budget a little too far, General Admission is a great way to find cheaper Grand Prix tickets. These passes grant access to several different viewing areas, including a grassy bank at Turn 1, one of the most famous corners at the circuit. General Admission tickets are available from USD $234 for all 3 days, or USD $220 for Sunday only.
Don’t wait too long – get your tickets now to guarantee a place in Austin this weekend!
