The 2024 United States Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Pirelli United States Grand Prix 2024) was a Formula One motor race held on October 20, 2024, at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, United States. It was the nineteenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship and the fourth Grand Prix weekend of the season to utilise the sprint format.
Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing took pole position for the sprint event, which he proceeded to win ahead of Carlos Sainz Jr. of Ferrari and Lando Norris of McLaren. Norris took pole position for the main race, but lost out to Charles Leclerc of Ferrari ahead of his teammate Sainz, marking a Ferrari 1–2 finish, their first in the United States since 2006 and Ferrari's first win in the United States since 2018 with Kimi Räikkönen.
After an intense late-race battle between him and Verstappen, Norris finished third on track, but was demoted to fourth after a late penalty. Verstappen ended up rounding out the podium. Esteban Ocon of Alpine achieved his first career fastest lap in this race, but did not receive the point as he was positioned in eighteenth.
The event was held at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, for the twelfth time in the circuit's history, across the weekend of October 18–20.
