The Circuit of the Americas sometimes looks like an homage to other great racing tracks around the world.Turns 3 to 6 are reminiscent of the high-speed run through Maggots and Becketts at Silverstone in the UK, and the famous S Curves driven at Suzuka in Japan. Further in the lap, turns 12-15 are similar to the stadium section which is found in Hockenheim in Germany.A step uphill run along the start-finish straight leads to a tight left-hand hairpin where drivers can overtake on the inside and outside line.Verstappen overcame a horror pit stop which dropped him from first to third, to ultimately win the US Grand Prix in 2022.
