United States Grand Prix

Sunday, October 22, 2023: It's around 4 p.m. here in southeastern Florida, and I am in my bed in my room at The Isles Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Boynton Beach, Florida (https://ibnrc.org/), following spinal surgeries on September 2 and October 6, 2023. I am unable to watch the United States Grand Prix on TV here, so I can follow along live with this guy's commentary on YouTube on my phone. The race started at 3 p.m.

This is the 18th race of the 23-race Formula 1 auto racing season for 2023. Today's circuit (track) is the Circuit of the United States in Austin, Texas.

(I posted a graphic of the circuit in the comment section below so that you can see a clearer version.)

The first 17 races were in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Miami, Monaco, Spain, Canada, Austria, Great Britain, Hungary, Beligium,The Netherlands, Italy, Singapore, Japan, and Qatar.

This season, there are two races in Italy and three races in the United States (Miami, Austin, and an inaugural race in Las Vegas). The Grand Prix in Imola, Italy, earlier this season was postponed due to poor weather conditions: rain and flooding.

Formula 1 racing is the only sport that I actively follow. There are 20 drivers on 10 teams (constructors). Only one driver is from the United States.

The Red Bull team won the Constructors Championship after the Japanese Grand Prix about a month ago. Max Verstappen of The Netherlands won the Championship two weeks ago when he won the Qatar Grand Prix.
