Stefano Domenicali confirmed Formula 1 is discussing a new contract for the Circuit of The Americas, saying the track “deserves a future” in the sport.

The host circuit of the United States Grand Prix has become a popular destination for Formula 1 since it was added to the calendar in 2012, and its current contract is due to expire at the end of this year – leaving its place on the 2022 calendar with an asterisk of being ‘subject to contract’.

An enormous crowd made its way to Austin for last weekend’s race, with fans being treated to a thrilling weekend of racing as Max Verstappen emerged victorious.
