Practice 3 for the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas in Austin is the final free-practice session of the race weekend, where teams and drivers run high-speed laps to finalise car setup, tyre choices and qualifying simulations. Conducted on COTA’s 3.41-mile, 20-turn layout highlighted by a steep Turn 1, the session gives teams their last on-track opportunity to collect data and optimise performance before qualifying and the race.
