US GP review: Hamilton conquers America
The US GP looked like it would be Sebastian Vettel's property, but a superb drive from Lewis Hamilton gave the Briton his fourth win of 2012 and kept the title battle alive ahead of the Brazil finale. AUTOSPORT reviews the Austin weekend
PRACTICE
Practice one - Friday am
Friday morning at a new venue is always fascinating for everyone involved in Formula 1.
Would the Circuit of the Americas live up to its on-paper promise? Would Turn 1 enter F1 legend? Would anyone turn up?
The answers came fairly quickly. Drivers' views on the Austin layout ranged from positive to delighted, with the high speed sweeps of the first sector particularly pleasing. And the opening day crowd put many venues' Sunday attendance to shame.
