With just six more races to go in the 2025 season, the title race continues to heat up. But where will the battle commence next?
18 races have come and gone in 2025,
with McLaren sealing the constructors' championship at the most recent race weekend, the Singapore Grand Prix. However, the drivers' championship still has plenty to give as Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris battle it out.
That battle will take place at the
United States Grand Prix, with the
Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, hosting a sprint weekend to bring yet more intrigue to the weekend, concluding with the Grand Prix on 19 October.

What happened at the 2024 United States Grand Prix?
The last Grand Prix around COTA saw a different result compared to the norm of 2024, with Ferrari finding some pace to take a one-two finish.
Charles Leclerc impressed with his third race win of the season after victories in Monaco and Monza, while Carlos Sainz finished second.
Behind the two Scuderia cars, Max Verstappen rounded out the podium in P3, less than a second ahead of Lando Norris in fourth as the two continued to battle for the world title. The Dutchman would go onto take his fourth consecutive title three races later at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
What time does the 2025 United States Grand Prix start?
Texas will see another title battle come into America next weekend, with Piastri's lead cut by Norris to 22 points in the drivers' standings after the race weekend in Singapore.
Teams and drivers will have a week-long break before travelling to the USA, with the race weekend taking place from October 17 to October 19.
The action will get underway on Friday with just the one practice session due to the sprint weekend, taking place between 12:30 - 13:30 local time (18:30 - 19:30 BST).
After FP1, sprint qualifying will then take place between 16:30 - 17:14 local time (22:30 - 23:14 BST), setting the grid up for the sprint race on Saturday, which takes place at 12:00 - 12:30 local time (18:00-18:30 BST).
Qualifying for Sunday's Grand Prix will follow the sprint race around the Circuit of the Americas, with that taking place at 16:00 - 17:00 local time (22:00 - 23:00 BST).
Sunday will then see the 19th race of the season get underway at 14:00 local time (20:00 BST).
