Dear The Rear Diffuser,
F1 (re)born in the USA
Formula One returns to the United States of America this weekend with the penultimate round of the 2012 Formula One World Championship to be held at the purpose-built Circuit of the Americas on Sunday 18 November.
Austin is the 10th venue for a F1 race in the USA, after Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Long Beach, Phoenix, Riverside, Sebring and Watkins Glen.
Simulations suggest the circuit has more corners over 250 kph than Spa and more below 100 kph than Hungary. A qualifying lap time of around 97 seconds (1:37) and a race lap time around 102 seconds (1:42) are predicted.
“My wife and I have been big fans of the USA, and also of Texas, for many years” says Michael ahead of the inaugural Austin Grand Prix next week, “so I'm particularly looking forward to the race. I'm really excited to see what kind of track we will find and to see if the American fans will embrace our sport. From the pictures and layouts of the circuit that I have already seen, everything looks very good.”
Nico feels “it will be very exciting to race in the USA again and I’m really looking forward to our visit. The United States Grand Prix should be a great event and a real show for our American fans. I can’t wait to drive on the Circuit of the Americas track for the first time in practice next Friday.
