It's finally race week again! After a three week break since the Singapore Grand Prix, the F1 paddock now moves to Austin, Texas for the United States Grand Prix.

The race in Austin kicks of the first of the final two triple headers which will bring the 2024 season to a close. Following this weekend's race are the Mexican and Brazilian Grands Prix, respectively. Then, after another two week break, is the Las Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix.

The biggest change heading into this weekend is the replacement of Daniel Ricciardo at VCARB. The Australian driver was replaced with immediate effect by Red Bull reserve driver Liam Lawson for the rest of the season. VCARB is yet to confirm who will race alongside Yuki Tsunoda next year so Lawson has the last six races to prove himself for the seat.
