Round 18 of the 2026 Formula 1 season moves to the Circuit of the Americas for the United States Grand Prix, running from 23–25 October. Max Verstappen delivered a dominant Singapore weekend, taking pole and winning both the sprint and main race. The Ferrari challenge followed, but a strategy error from Lewis Hamilton left him finishing sixth; Charles Leclerc was second and Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli third. Antonelli has a first chance at the world title in Austin if he wins while George Russell finishes ninth or lower and Hamilton is fifth or lower. UK clocks shift back for the race day. The 56-lap race starts at 20:00 GMT on Sunday, with practice and qualifying times listed for 23–24 October and coverage on BBC platforms.
