The United States Grand Prix was an action-packed weekend with the sprint race on Saturday and the main Grand Prix on Sunday. From start to finish, fans were glued to their screens as drama, strategy, and speed took center stage.

Max Verstappen continued his dominance in the Red Bull, winning the sprint race, claiming pole on Saturday, and taking victory in the Grand Prix, his fifth of the season. Over the last five race weekends, Verstappen has scored 119 out of a possible 133 points, solidifying his position as a frontrunner for the 2025 Driver’s Championship.

Lando Norris delivered an impressive performance, finishing P2 after a thrilling battle with Charles Leclerc. The two swapped positions multiple times, providing a nail-biting contest until the finish. Leclerc crossed the line in P3, showcasing a commendable fight to the top.

Lewis Hamilton finished P4 for Ferrari, keeping the team just seven points behind Mercedes in the Constructors’ Championship and maintaining the excitement of the title race.

Oscar Piastri, currently leading the Drivers’ Championship, struggled to P5 due to car issues and a slower pace than expected. Kimi Antonelli also faced challenges after an incident with Carlos Sainz dropped him from P7 to the back, although smart overtaking brought him back to P13. Meanwhile, Sainz, who DNF’d, received a five-place grid penalty for the next race.
