Where to watch NASCAR, F1 this weekend.
The modern United States Grand Prix was already a successful event beforebut Formula 1’s newfound popularity in the U.S. has taken the race to another level. Another expected sellout should make for an unforgettable atmosphere again at the race. The championship, however, is no longer in play.
With Max Verstappen already crowned after the Japanese Grand Prix two weeks ago, the USGP stands out as the first event of the season without F1’s highest honor at stake. That does not mean the season is over, though. Many major prizes are still available, including second in the drivers’ championship, which is currently separated by just one point after 18 races. Red Bull’s Sergio Pérez currently leads Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. A top-three finish will be a career high for both.
Two of those drivers, Ross Chastain and Chase Elliott, are more than 15 points clear of the cutoff line as it stands today. One, Christopher Bell, is more than 15 points behind it. In both cases, the gaps are relatively insignificant; strong stage finishes can erase deficits, and poor finishes can exacerbate them. This is an all-out brawl, with Elliott and Denny Hamlin serving as the only perennial contenders in the group.
That makes Homestead a very significant race. If Sunday’s overall winner comes from that group of seven, that driver will both secure a spot for the forthcoming championship round in Phoenix and cut the line down to six drivers grappling for just a pair of championship spots in the Championship 4. Winning at Homestead puts a driver in the proverbial driver’s seat, sowing chaos for the two other drivers they’ll fight for a championship in Martinsville next weekend.
