Formula 1 announced a five-year contract extension Friday to keep the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of The Americas track in Austin, Texas.
The original 10-year contract expired after the 2021 race, when a record-breaking crowd of 400,000 watched Max Verstappen claim his maiden win on American soil.
“We are thrilled to be announcing the extension,” F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said in a news release. “… Austin is a great city, and the track is a favorite for all the drivers, and we cannot wait to be back in October for more action and entertainment.”
The 2022 race is scheduled for Oct. 23.
“The Formula 1 United States Grand Prix has become one of the biggest and greatest events in the world,” said COTA founding partner Bobby Epstein. “We are extremely proud it has found a home in Texas — at Circuit of The Americas — and are grateful to the millions of fans who visited us over our first decade.
