It served as the eighteenth round of the 2018 Formula One World Championship and marked the seventh running of the United States Grand Prix at this circuit.

Kimi Räikkönen won the race after starting from second place on the grid, earning his first Grand Prix win since the 2013 Australian Grand Prix and ending a record 114-race winless streak.^[a] It was his first victory with Ferrari since the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix, as well as the team's first win in the United States since 2006.
