In-car view from Mario Andretti's first lap of the new Circuit of The Americas, the new Formula 1 USGP circuit outside Austin, Texas. Mario was driving the John Player Special Lotus 79-Cosworth with which he won the 1978 Formula 1 World Championship.

"It's very green, as you could expect," Andretti told the Reuters news agency of the track. "You get offline a bit, it's a bit slippery. But that's normal for a new circuit. Overall, my impression is absolutely fantastic."
