From racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to racing at Watkin Glens and the Circuit of the Americas, Formula 1 has seen multiple dominant eras. Lotus who ranks second in the constructor’s list, won six out of the nine races held in the sixties.
Then there was Ferrari in the 2000s owning the US with five straight 1-2 finishes helping the Scuderia reach the top of the list of constructors. McLaren is one of the more consistent teams winning races in multiple decades, but one cannot forget Mercedes’ rise to power in the 2010’s winning four races in a row.
Lewis Hamilton is on top of the list with six wins and with more American races coming on the schedule, he will have the chance to increase his win tally. Fans around the world are excited to see what the Miami Grand Prix will offer in 2022 and the Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023.
