Story summary

Formula 1 returns to Austin, Texas for the US Grand Prix this weekend, marking the event's eighth year since its inaugural race in 2012. Austin is one of three F1 races held in the United States, alongside Miami, which hosted a grand prix in May, and Las Vegas, set to host a night race in November. The sport has seen increased popularity in the US, partly due to Netflix's "Drive to Survive" series. However, Formula 1's history with the country includes both highly successful and less memorable races, having been staged in 11 different US cities and towns over the years.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
