• Carlos Sainz has scored points in every appearance in Austin but last year, when he clinched a brilliant pole position but was forced to retire after a rival crashed into him in the first turn.
• This weekend’s event will follow a Sprint format, with a Qualifying session on Friday to set Sunday’s starting grid and the Sprint on Saturday with its own Shootout.
• Texas marks the beginning of a triple-header in the American continent, in a racetrack that combines low and high-speed corners with a long back-straight, dramatic changes of altitude, and two DRS zones.
