Best images of F1 in the US through the years

Formula 1’s presence in the United States has expanded significantly in recent years, with three distinct races now part of the annual calendar. The US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, has become a standout event since its debut in 2012, drawing strong crowds and fan engagement.

Meanwhile, Miami and Las Vegas have joined the lineup, hosting races in May and November, respectively, with the latter featuring a high-profile night race. The sport’s growing popularity in the US has been bolstered by Netflix’s *Drive to Survive*, which has introduced millions to F1’s high-speed drama and competitive intensity.

However, the relationship between F1 and the US has not always been smooth, with some past races delivering memorable success while others fell short of expectations. From classic tracks like Indianapolis and Watkins Glen to unconventional venues such as Dallas’s streets and the Caesars Palace car park, the series has raced across 11 different US cities and towns over the decades.
