#5 - Long Beach Formula 1 has had a difficult history in the United States, but one of the better circuits to host the US GP is Long Beach. Although the track is more famous for its IndyCar races these days, the Long Beach Street Circuit hosted eight F1 Grands Prix between 1976 and 1983 as the Western race of the USA.

Defending champion Hamilton leads the drivers’ championship, with Bottas in third, while Mercedes are out in front in the constructors’ standings, having recorded a one-two in Russia last week.

Hamilton took a 17-point lead in the Driver’s Championship ahead of the German, Sebastian Vettel....

The American held back no punches in a heavy-hitting column on McLaren’s official website, blasting his F1 rivals for what he has called “auditioning for a pantomime” during the recently-concluded season. Brown’s primary displeasure was with the fact that teams presently wield too much power in the sport.
