I had to google COTA .... I see it means the Austin track, or "car park racing" as its called by some of the drivers.

I don't really understand why it is called "the Circuit of the Americas" as there are so many better tacks in Canada, Mexico, Brazil etc.


Regarding Mercedes dominance, if you look back over the years of F1, there has often been one team which had dominance for a year or more. That's one of the reasons why they change the rules and regs so often.

Even poor Williams who is just about managing to get two cars on the track used to be winners once.

Certainly there was a Ferrari era, and a Renault era and Mclaren Lotus etc.
