We've had one winner in Barack Obama, but who do you think will prevail as F1 heads into unknown territory in Austin, Texas? Discuss!

The trophies

Tyre compounds




@Ferrari92

They look nice, don't they? Always nice to see some original trophies and not some stupid company logos being handed over as "trophies" (Yeah I'm looking at you, Santander).

As I said before, I'm excited for F1 coming back to the US. I hope that the track produces some good racing and since it's the first time here, it could be anyone's game.

What about the good old poll?

@MavF1

I think the best ones were those of Hungary

Vettel's 100th race in the same country as he had his first race.

[Chaosboy940]

Hopefully he will finish in the same position as well. :P
The 1st and 3rd sectors should suit the Red bull but hopefully the Ferrari will be quicker in the 2nd sector.
Will be interesting to see what setup Red bull go with after Abu Dhabi when they showed that they were still fast even without there usual setup of fast out the corners and slow down the straights.

Mclaren and Mercedes previews are the best!

* Austin is the 10th venue for a F1 race in the USA (after Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Long Beach, Phoenix, Riverside, Sebring and Watkins Glen)

* Simulations suggest the circuit has more corners over 250 kph than Spa and more below 100 kph than Hungary

* A qualifying lap time of around 97 seconds (1:37) and a race lap time around 102 seconds (1:42) are predicted

Second one please.

I'm going to be attempting the song-titles-in-headlines game for Austin. I will try and avoid American Idiot and a modification to Star Spangled Banner that could be used for certain drivers, if you get my drift

If Lewis can grab pole I think he will win the race........bar any issues, yet again.

You know Schumacher's terrible dress sense? How he used to sometimes wear cowboy boots and a cowboy hat?

He MUST wear those to this race...
