The United States of America (commonly known as the United States, the U.S., the U.S.A., America and the States) is a country in North America. It is the third largest country in population, and either third or fourth in size, in the world.

It has hosted many Grands Prix, including the United States Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500, the United States Grand Prix West, the Detroit Grand Prix, the Dallas Grand Prix and the Caesars Palace Grand Prix.

The country has produced two Formula One World Champions: the 1961 champion, Phil Hill, and Mario Andretti, who won the title in 1978. The most recent American driver is Logan Sargeant from Florida.

The latest addition to the Formula 1 is the Las Vegas Grand Prix, set to make its inaugural appearance during the 2023 season. Preceding this, the Miami Grand Prix made its debut in the 2022 season.
