      It’s probably down to who gets to have the American GP.

      Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix

      United States Grand Prix

      Austin is the older race, and for a while it was the only American GP.

      They do the same for other countries too; Monza has always been the Italian GP, but had we raced at Imola this year, that would’ve been the Emilia Romagna GP.

      2020 also showed they’d do something with back-to-back races at the same track; Austria, Great Britain, and Bahrain all had one “definitive” GP each, but the followup race was called something different.
