Leclerc pounces on Norris at the start, good gateway for Piastri in Austin

The Monegasque driver made a great start, making the most of the soft tyres off the line as Norris was caught napping and lost a position.

Behind them, Lewis Hamilton also managed to climb up a spot at the expense of George Russell.

Strong launch too from championship leader Oscar Piastri, who likewise got past the Briton to move into the top five — now chasing his teammate and Max Verstappen, who comfortably held onto the lead.

Here's the start of the US GP below.
