Many changes are expected at the circuit, with FIA monitoring and the track limits saga from last year's race causing the organisers to make a fair few changes to the track.

On top of this, there will be a change in personnel, with Daniel Ricciardo no longer on the grid and Liam Lawson instead taking his place at VCARB.

Now, McLaren have also revealed that there will be changes to their car design, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri driving a new-look MCL38.

The team are attempting to win their first constructors' championship title since 1998, and Norris is also involved in a battle for the drivers' championship.

Norris is just 52 points behind Max Verstappen, with six races remaining. It has been a memorable season for both he and Piastri, with both drivers claiming their first few grand prix victories.

Now, McLaren are set to take on a radical new look, with sleek Chrome panelling replacing the usual black parts of their car design for the event in Austin.

The iconic papaya colouring will remain on the car, but the incorporation of the Chrome colour alongside it is a nod to their partnership with Google Chrome.
