Sadly, it's been difficult for motorsport fans around the world to keep up with what's been going on live. But that's about to change for the final three races of this season. The last round will be at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, on the same weekend that the F1 United States Grand Prix will be taking place there. And it means the infrastructure will be in place for us to race on live TV! It's so exciting for all of us. This season has been loads of fun already but, to show off what we can do in front of hundreds of thousands of people at the track and millions more watching from home around the world... It's going to be special. And what a venue for it – the Austin race is huge. We raced at Paul Ricard last weekend and it was just F1 Academy as a standalone event. It was a little quiet! So going from that to not being able to see a spare seat is going to be epic. I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing next year so this Austin race means a lot to me. The team and I have unfinished business in this championship – I've had some great results, but that first win has been just out of reach. I messaged our boss Stephanie the other day and said: "We're not going to end the year without standing on the top step. I'm not letting that happen!" We're quite determined to end this year on a high. Since my last column, on the weekend of the British Grand Prix, two rounds of F1 Academy have taken place. The first was at Monza, another iconic racing venue which is always just such a privilege to see with your own eyes, never mind drive around it. Across the three races, I finished P4 with a broken driveshaft, P3 in a reverse grid and then P2 in race three. I really wanted the in of course){kind=link}
