So after a break of five years the wait is nearly over as Formula One makes it's eagerly awaited return to the USA next weekend for the inaugural United States GrandPrix at the Circuit of The Americas purpose built facility in Austin, Texas. Everyone in the Formula One community can't wait for the sport to return to America.
I have no doubt what so ever that the sports return to America will be a massive success. The race is a sell out and that is a fantastic endorsement for the circuit and for the race organizers. Lewis Hamilton won the last time Formula One was in America, and I wouldn't count him out to take the win next weekend in Texas particularly after his disappointment in Abu Dhabi last weekend.
As I have said in a previous post, the Circuit of the America's has all the ingredients to be a huge success. It has the longest straight in Formula One and has sections in it similar to Turkey's turn 8, Silverstone's Maggot's and Beckett's turn.
The circuit also has very high elevations and that is going to be fantastic to watch.
So a lot of people have been saying that the circuit will suit RedBull Racing. I believe that the Lotus team could do very well in Austin having won the last race in ABu Dhabi. The team will also be running an updated version of their coanda exhaust in Austin.
You can't discount Ferrari either as Alonso is in a gripping battle with Sebastian Vettel for the championship with two race's to go. I absolutely love the new circuit in Austin and in my opinion, aswell as being a favourite amongst the driver's it will also become a fan favourite.
