Formula One is BACK in America for the first time since 1991 and the stakes couldn't have been higher.

The atmosphere was incredible, the tension was palpable.

Most drivers were ok with the circuit, with some drivers saying the first three hairpins were just too slow, but the rest of the lap was great.

This was Alex Wurzs 50th race start.

The 3rd place driver of the race, his team would not get another podium until 2003!

It would also be Ricardo Zontas last ever points finish in F1.
