Welcome back to Austin Texas, the home of the Long Horns, for the 2022 USA Grand Prix. This circuit is a fan and driver’s favorite to race and be part of the festivities.
It was another sell-out gathering at the Circuit of The Americas also known as “COTA.”
Crosswinds influenced the race today, with some of the racing machinery having sand beached on the gravel or struggling to have control around parts of the fast-snaking part of the track.
This race we saw two safety cars, a yellow flag and a red flag on lap 23. A front-end airborne car by Alonso of Alpine. A high-speed crash involving Stroll of Aston Martin. Overtakes along the track with Verstappen, Hamilton and Leclerc going at each other in the later part of the race. We had it all in Texas! This is what racing is all about!!!!
In the Last 10 Laps we saw the Midfield teams, AlphaTauri, Aston Martin, Alpine and McLaren fighting for points. We saw the drivers of the two lead cars Hamilton and Verstappen fight all the way to the checkered flag. A sensational end to the race saw Verstappen win his 13th race of the season, tying a record held by Schumacher and Vettel.
On the podium was Max Verstappen in 1st, Lewis Hamilton in 2nd and Charles Leclerc in 3rd.
This one is for Dietrich ?
So happy we could wrap up the win and the constructors’ championship, after such an emotional weekend for everyone @redbull. The only thing we could do today was win. pic.twitter.com/Xczad35AKJ
