It was Verstappen's weekend at the Circuit of the Americas. After the Dutchman won the Sprint, he was victorious at the US Grand Prix as well.

Meanwhile, the Australian and the Briton had a rather disappointing day. Norris was stuck behind Charles Leclerc's Ferrari for a long time, while Piastri finished fifth.
As a result, the Red Bull Racing driver now trails Piastri by 40 points in the standings.
On the other hand, Ferrari seemingly got the strategy spot on this weekend, as Leclerc and Hamilton finished third and fourth respectively.
