WATCH: Lewis Hamilton dropping huge statement about the COTA circuit ahead of US GP

The United States Grand Prix is one of the most highly attended and experienced Grand Prix in the Formula 1 calendar. The Grand Prix is happening at the iconic COTA (Circuit of the Americas) track located in Austin, Texas. The circuit is also home to the NASCAR and MotoGP races. So the circuit is very busy throughout the year and it was the first race track in the US built purposely for the Formula One races. The circuit was designed by the same people who designed some of the best high-speed tracks in the world like Sepang, Shanghai, Hockenheim and Buddh. Etc.

Lewis Hamilton the 7-time world champion and the driver who won the most (6 times)  in the COTA circuit talked about the iconic circuit and what makes it special. He talks about the specialities in the track which no other track in the world holds. He starts with the Uphill first corner in which drivers only see the sky and they don't know where is the corner.

The Esses section is a long S stretch which he feels is a fun-to-drive section. He also pointed out the start line as the best place to overtake others alongside turn 11 where drivers can get the help of DRS. He says drivers need proper planning before overtaking because if they don't plan well then they could run out of battery which will make the race difficult for them.

Hamilton says drivers will start to lose their tyres at section13,14,15,16, and 17 where their tyres degrade the most and make them lose time. But overall Lewis Hamilton ranks COTA as the best circuit ever in recent times. Formula 1 is returning to the United States for a second time this year after the Miami Grand Prix happened earlier this year. It will be followed by Mexico, Brazil and again for the third time in the US for the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
