Following the cancellation of last year's race, the Circuit of the Americas is back on the calendar in 2021. The track was criticised by MotoGP riders earlier this month for being too bumpy, but some of the bumps have been smoothed out ahead of this week's race.
Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton is the most successful driver at Austin with five wins in eight appearances, while Red Bull's only win at the track came in 2013, the last year of the V8 engine rules.
