Max Verstappen won the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas in a tense three-way strategy battle between the Red Bull driver, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris.
Verstappen, Hamilton and Norris off-set two-stop strategies, but in the end, the Red Bull driver emerged the victor, finishing 2.225s seconds ahead of his old Mercedes rival.
Despite a late race charge, Hamilton was resigned to second place, but clear ahead of Norris, who wound up 10 seconds off of leader Verstappen by the time the chequered flag fell.
Carlos Sainz came home as the best Ferrari in fourth, with Sergio Perez claiming fifth place in the second Red Bull.
Polesitter Charles Leclerc fell foul of a one-stop strategy, resigning him to sixth place and 24 seconds back from the victor.
George Russell took seventh in the second Mercedes, ahead of Pierre Gasly, who took eighth for Alpine.
Lance Stroll took ninth for Aston Martin, with Yuki Tsunoda completing the top-10 for AlphaTauri.
Esteban Ocon and Oscar Piastri were early retirees, with Fernando Alonso joining them late on.
