2022 F1 United States Grand Prix session timings and preview

Max Verstappen will head to Austin as the 2022 champion having wrapped up his second consecutive F1 title in Japan a fortnight ago.

However, the constructors' championship is still to be decided, with Red Bull currently sitting 165 points clear of Ferrari in the standings.

There is a strong chance that Red Bull will secure its first constructors' title since 2013 at Austin this weekend having been unbeaten in the second half of the season. Its last defeat was recorded in Austria prior to the summer break.

Lewis Hamilton is the most successful driver at the Circuit of the Americas with a total of five wins, four of which were recorded in consecutive years in the middle of last decade. The Mercedes driver would be hoping that his strong record will end his and his team's current win drought in F1 as they  aim to bounce back after a tough start to F1's new ground-effect era.
