Hot diggidy dawg! F1 is back on, once again.
This weekend it's an immodestly-monickered locale called "Circuit of the Americas". I can't help but wonder if Canada, Mexico and Brazil concur in that grandiose claim.
"The Americas" seems a bit high fallutin' for "The arse end of Travis County, Texas". Apparently, the developer had wanted to call it, less prosaically, "Speed City", but shallower minds prevailed.
I suppose we should be grateful it actually is a circuit and not a hotel car-park, with a "Yee-Har Bar & Grill Chicane", a "World Series Pit-lane", and a "Bigly Coin Win-arium Straight".
Anyhoo, the UK telly times for this resuscitation will be:
Fri 18 Oct
Practice - 18:30
Sprint Qual - 22:30
Sat 19 Oct
Sprint - 19:00
Qual - 23:00
Sun 20 Oct
Race - 20:00
The only question that remains is how fast Nozza will throw away his pole position. If his past form is any indicator, it'll be on the parade lap.
