The long wait is over! F1 finally returns to United States with an bespoke track that looks great and lots of anticipation!

And Red Bull Racing only needs another 5 points to wins their third successive Constructors Championship. And pay more for next year's (est 4.4 million pounds) entry fee!

Thanks for the behind the scenes pictures, interesting. I hope the track proves to be a good drive and gives the spectators a good show. The USA has been long overdue for an adequate F1 track, glad it's finally here!

Can't wait. I will be there all day, Fri-Sun. Looking forward to the historic gp race as well.

ChrisAW · 11-09-2012, 03:31 PM

Vettel takes 3rd = 15 points
Alonso Wins = 25 points
Tied going into the last race

I was going to go this year but I'll go next year.

It could very well be decided here. The track looks great, but it looks like a circuit purpose-built for Red Bull. Barring anything unusual, this should be a cakewalk for Vettel. If Alonso doesn't get on the podium, the championship will be over.
