October 14, 2025 — Austin, TX
The United States Grand Prix has long been one of the most anticipated stops on the Formula 1 calendar, and one of its most charming traditions is the parade of familiar faces that grace the paddock each year. From racing legends to A-list celebrities, the annual event at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in Austin has become as much about the atmosphere off the track as the action on it.
Over the years, fans have spotted some of the biggest names from the worlds of sports, entertainment, and motorsport taking in the Grand Prix weekend. Hollywood icons like Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, and Patrick Dempsey have all made appearances, alongside music superstars such as Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, and Shaquille O’Neal — who famously delivered the winner’s trophy in grand style a few seasons ago.
But it’s not just the celebrities who make the USGP special — it’s also the familiar faces within the racing community. Former F1 drivers, team executives, and legends of the sport often return to COTA to reconnect with fans and the current generation of racers. Names like Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi, and David Coulthard are frequently seen around the paddock, adding to the event’s rich sense of history and continuity.
This year’s US Grand Prix is once again shaping up to be a star-studded affair. With Formula 1’s continued surge in American popularity, driven by its growing presence on streaming platforms and the success of races in Las Vegas and Miami, the Austin weekend is expected to draw even more big names and electric energy.
As the engines roar and the crowd fills the grandstands, the USGP remains not only a celebration of speed and competition but also a meeting place for the global F1 family — where new stars rise and familiar faces return to celebrate the sport they love.
