🏎️ UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX PREVIEW 🇺🇸 | THE FORMATION YAP Ep. 31

F1 has been here since 2012.

And this track... 14th year.

Yes.

And so this track is 3.4 miles long.

It has 20 turns, right? But there is some...

No lefts?

There is some inspiration from other tracks on the grid, right? For those of you guys who've been following us for a little bit, you've heard us talk about it, and anybody who knows the world of F1, this track was designed by a German circuit designer, Hermann Tilke, and we've talked about him on the podcast before, but he designed this track right here in Koda.

Same

as Silverstone and maybe Monza and also the Singapore track as well.

So yeah, most recently we've seen him in

Sepang.

He did not, unfortunately did not design Silverstone.

I don't want to give you guys any false hope, but this track does have some inspiration.

in the

S's after turn one.

And that's why they call it the circuit of the Americas.

Every corner is kind of pulled.

That's kind of the theme of it.

You know, when they were designing it was they pull some of the best corners from what driver said was their favorite corners from different tracks.

And that's kind of how they built the track.

So as soon as the lights go out, we've got a straight climb up to Big Red, where it's turn one.

We go into the S's that are inspired by Silverstone, like you were saying.

Maggots and beckets.

Then you go around the backside of the track.

There's a straight right there, and it leads us into a hairpin, followed by the stadium section, which was designed from Hockenheim, right, in Germany.
