Clip The Xmas 
This weekend we’re in Austin at the Circuit of the Americas, incredibly, it’s already 13 years since we first raced there. It’s a brilliant track; for me, easily the best circuit in America, & it’s now the 2nd longest serving U.S. venue F1’s raced on
With 6 rounds to go, we start the American leg of the championship, over the next 5 weeks we’ll visit Austin, Mexico City, São Paulo, & Las Vegas. This weekend is a sprint, the end-of-season run alternates nicely: US Sprint, Mexico Normal, Brazil Sprint, Vegas Normal, Qatar Sprint, Abu Dhabi Normal.
There are just 22 points between the 2 title rivals, Piastri & Norris. After the events & controversy from last time out in Singapore, both finally seem to have realised there’s a world championship at stake. It would be remiss not to include Max, 63 points back with 6 races left, because if anyone could still do it, it’s him. In 2007 Kimi was 34 points behind with only 2 races left before McLaren imploded & kimi became Ferrari’s most recent world champion. Still, I believe the title’s heading to McLaren the question is which side. This could be the weekend where the gloves come off.
As has become tradition for me to say, this is another weekend where Lando has to beat Piastri. To have any chance, he needs to keep the pressure on & hope Piastri cracks, because 15 points with 5 races to go is very different from 29.
