Red Bull’s Max Verstappen extends his championship lead over McLaren’s Lando Norris to 54 points by winning the US Grand Prix sprint.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen took his first Formula 1 victory for nearly four months with a controlled drive in the sprint race at the United States Grand Prix.Norris was running second going into the final lap but a lock-up at the first corner allowed Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz to slip by in Austin.
"It was not too bad," Verstappen said. "It feels a bit like old times. The whole race, Ferrari was always very quick, but for us we were finally racing again. We had good pace." The Ferraris staged a frantic scrap over the first five laps in which they seemed to spend almost as much time side by side as in line astern. Sainz time and again attemped moves only to be rebuffed, often as he ran into corners too deep.
