On November 3, 2019, Lewis Hamilton clinched his sixth Formula 1 World Championship at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, during the United States Grand Prix. Hamilton's Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas won the race, but Hamilton's second-place finish was enough to secure the title with two rounds remaining.
The 2019 season marked Hamilton's third consecutive championship and brought his total to six, moving him one behind Michael Schumacher's all-time record of seven. The race at the Circuit of the Americas featured the track's signature turns 3 through 9 and the infield section, which have become iconic in modern Formula 1.
Historical footage from the 2016 United States Grand Prix weekend illustrates the circuit layout, though the 2019 event saw Hamilton achieve the milestone under clear Texas skies.
