Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN heads to Austin for the first half of a double-header in the Americas, as the team tackles the United States Grand Prix. The event, expected to take place in front of a sell-out crowd at the Circuit of the Americas, is the 19th round of the 2022 Formula One World Championship.
America is a place where you go big or go home – and Austin is no exception. The race in Texas is one of the highlights of the year, a race predicted to pack nearly half a million spectators over the weekend, a race where city and track come together to produce a weekend spectacular like no other.
Austin is a land of oversized barbecues, live music everywhere you look, street parties and late-night bars; it’s a place where the event extends beyond the action on track, it’s a place where you can’t avoid feeling part of the fabric of something big and wonderful.
Such a setting requires something special. From the hill climbing up to turn one at COTA to a paddock filled to the brim with celebrities and media, this weekend exacts a particular toll from its participants – no matter whether in the cockpit, in the garage or in the team’s hospitality unit. This weekend sometimes feels like it requires physical and mental strength to superhuman level: an exaggeration, perhaps, but not a fully out of place one.

Through comic books, films and more, we got to know America as the land of superheroes: incredible beings with fantastic gadgets achieving feats nobody else can. With their colourful suits, shimmering machinery and sleek helmets, this is not a far cry from what a Formula One team is.
So, let us indulge in this transatlantic fantasy. We may not wear capes, but Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN has all the elements to play the role. The superheroes are back in town.
