Trackside view: First impressions of Austin
Edd Straw takes a walk around the new United States Grand Prix venue and reckons that it features the best spot to watch Formula 1 cars in anger on the calendar

This means that the first hour-and-a-half of practice is always the highlight of the weekend at every new track. It's no exception for Austin's new state-of-the-art facility which, based on today's evidence, boasts possibly the best trackside viewing experience anywhere on the calendar.
