The United States GP has made its return to the 2021 F1 calendar with a star-studded musical lineup for the weekend.

Formula 1 has seen a massive rise in the popularity of the sport in the US in the past few years. The normal F1 race weekend is hosted as some sort of a festival in the States. In 2021, the United States GP saw several big-shot names make their appearance at the paddock.

Jam-packed with several sports and Hollywood stars the 2021 US GP was filled with glamour. Going into the 2022 season, the organisers of the race at the COTA circuit made sure the glamour returns to the F1 fans with a star-studded concert lineup.

What to expect from the race at COTA?

The run for the 2022 drivers championship title ended last time out at the Japanese GP as Red bull’s Max Verstappen claimed the second title of his career.

However, there still remains the battle for P2 which is being contested between the Red Bull driver Sergio Perez and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. With only 1 point difference between the two drivers, it remains to be seen if Ferrari can at least be a runner-up in the championship.

Moreover, Red Bull’s focus is also set on claiming the constructors’ title to confirm an end to Mercedes’ 8-year-long dominance in the sport.
