F1 TV schedule for this weekend in USA: Broadcast partners and timings revealed

The Lone Star state is gearing up to witness live motorsport action as F1 heads to Austin for the 2022 US Grand Prix. The 19th round of the season will take place at the Circuit of the Americas, a 3.43-mile-long (5.5-kilometer-long) circuit, over 56 laps of high-speed racing.

With the drivers' championship already settled in favor of Max Verstappen, the P2 in the drivers' standings is up for grabs. With Sergio Perez leading Charles Leclerc by just one point, and George Russell and Carlos Sainz also in the distant mix, the runner-up position could be anyones for the taking.

Meanwhile, all eyes will be on the battle between Red Bull and Ferrari for the constructors' title. Although 165 points separate the two, the Scuderia will be hoping to mount an assault on the only remaining title this season.

Two other interesting battles that will play out over this weekend, and hopefully the next ones, are those between Ferrari and Mercedes and between Alpine and McLaren in the constructors' championship. While the Silver Arrows hope to upend Ferrari's run for P2 in the standings, the latter two will clash over what has now turned personal following the Oscar Piastri fiasco.

So how does the American crowd get to watch these battles play out? Find out here as we provide you with the details of where and when to watch the 2022 F1 US GP.
