Here are the complete results from the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas.
Charles Leclerc has led home a Ferrari 1-2 at the United States Grand Prix, with Carlos Sainz finishing second, while Max Verstappen finished third to extend his championship lead over Lando Norris.
Ferrari dominate United States Grand Prix
Starting from fourth place on the grid, Charles Leclerc made a strong start and ended up emerging from the first corner in the lead as Max Verstappen dived up the inside of Lando Norris into Turn 1.
From there, the Ferrari driver simply pulled away throughout the race as no one was able to live with his pace – Carlos Sainz moved up into second place as he undercut Verstappen through the stops.
Having won the Sprint race on Saturday, Verstappen’s Red Bull appeared less competitive over a Grand Prix distance and came under intense pressure from championship rival Lando Norris with 15 laps to go.
Lap after lap, the McLaren – which was on six-lap fresher tyres – attacked the Red Bull, with Verstappen gamely hanging onto the position until Norris got in a position on the outside at Turn 12.
The British driver overtook Verstappen while off the track and didn’t give the position back, resulting in Norris being given a five-second time penalty that resulted in him being demoted to fourth after finishing third on the road.
As a result, Verstappen’s championship leader increases by a further three points over Norris.
Oscar Piastri finished fifth in the second McLaren to add to the team’s Constructor’s tally, while George Russell salvaged sixth in what was a tough weekend for Mercedes – the British driver had started from the pitlane after a parc fermé breach overnight.
Seventh went to Red Bull’s Sergio Perez, with Nico Hulkenberg scoring points for hometown heroes Haas with eighth place. Liam Lawson was ninth for VCARB to score points on his debut race as a ‘permanent’ driver, with Franco Colapinto taking the final points place for Williams.
Lewis Hamilton was the only retirement, with the Mercedes man spinning off on Lap 3.
Near the end when Lando Norris caught up to Verstappen with Max and giving him no room except for Lando to go off the track, yet they penalized Lando. I just don’t see how that’s possible with this kind of stuff happening all the time and Max just gets away with it. And I wonder why.
