They're calling it the Austin Turn. Why? Because it's high and tight to the left. The signature turn one was the brain child of Circuit of the Americas creator Tavo Hellmund: Not only is it a challenge for the drivers, one like nothing else on the F1 calendar, but it will be a defining camera shot. Every time the camera tracks up from the starting line, it will be the Austin skyline on TVs across the planet.
