It has been nearly four months since Formula 1 contested a sprint race and four weekends since Formula 1 contested any kind of race, and Saturday's at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) is set to kick off a stretch of three consecutive Grand Prix weekends.

A sprint race is roughly one-third the length of a Grand Prix. Sunday's United States Grand Prix is scheduled to be a 56-lap race around the 20-turn, 3.427-mile (5.515-kilometer) road course in Austin, Texas, so the sprint race is set to be a 19-lap race.

COTA hosted its first ever sprint race last year, a race that was won by Red Bull's Max Verstappen from pole position. This year's sprint race is the fourth of sixth on the calendar, which also features a record-breaking 24 Grands Prix.
