Max Verstappen says that he is hopping that the wide track of Austin will provide opportunities to overtake.
Verstappen has been hailed for his overtaking abilities and is hoping to show them again as the 2016 draws to a close.
"The COTA track is very special, it’s a new track but with a lot of old school corners in it," he said, adding that it had the benefit of greater run-off areas for safety and driver protection.
"[That] makes it really cool to drive," he added. "Turn 1 has such a big radius it gives a lot of overtaking opportunities, and then the whole of the first sector has the Esses, it’s a bit like Silverstone or Suzuka.
"It is a really fun circuit to race," he summed up.
The Dutchman also spoke about the intriguing culture of the U.S and how he always feels "comfortable" there.
"I had a good look around Austin last year and really liked it," he said. "I love America in general, the people are so friendly and I always feel comfortable and relaxed there.
