As the Formula 1 championship battle heads to Texas, you can watch the F1 United States Grand Prix on October 18-20 from anywhere, and for free. We’ve also listed the United States Grand Prix start times below.
Currently, Max Verstappen has a 52-point lead at the top of the standings, ahead of Lando Norris.
But worryingly for Verstappen, it is Norris who is the in-form driver. Some inside the paddock believe Norris' form and the pace of his McLaren will be enough to overthrow the reigning champion.
Elsewhere, there will be no Daniel Ricciardo in Texas. In his place at RB will instead be Liam Lawson, who inherits the privilege and the pressure of driving within the Red Bull family.
