Lando Norris is second on grid, Oscar Piastri is sixthMax Verstappen won sprint after McLarens collidedMax Verstappen claimed pole position for the US Grand Prix with an immense lap for Red Bull at the Circuit of the Americas. However the day was marked by yet another incident between the two world championship contenders Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, with the latter crashing into Norris on the opening lap of the sprint race taking them both out and leaving McLaren with a headache as to how they manage their drivers.Verstappen had been all but untouchable throughout qualifying, his lead over Norris in second place was a full three-tenths, an age on this track. However in what is an increasingly tense title fight Piastri’s difficult weekend continued as he managed only sixth on the grid. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton took third and fifth for Ferrari, with Mercedes’ George Russell in fourth. Continue reading...

Updates from the Circuit of the Americas (10pm BST)Sprint race winner | Email Beau with your thoughtsLando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided with each other on the first lap again as the title rivals were both dumped out of the United States sprint.The buildup to the weekend has been dominated by the “consequences” imposed by McLaren on Norris after the team held him responsible for banging wheels with Piastri in Singapore a fortnight ago. That minor tap paled into insignificance compared with the carnage at turn one of Saturday’s sprint in Austin, as Norris was left with only three tyres on his car. Continue reading...

30 h. ago Risk of wheel bashing and strategy sets up complicated US Grand Prix

McLaren’s total dominance has gone and Norris and Piastri’s title race head-to-head is no longer such a binary affairAt the mid-point of this season it might have been considered that the title fight between McLaren’s Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri would simply be decided by which driver had the edge to take the flag at each remaining meeting. Going into this weekend’s US Grand Prix, however, the contest has become far more complicated and far more interesting.While only 22 points separate the pair neither has now won for three races, the team’s longest drought of the season. Moreover, they have been beaten on merit across a variety of tracks. At the fast, low downforce challenge of Monza and Baku, where Red Bull’s Max Verstappen took the flag, and the slow, high downforce of Singapore, where Mercedes’ George Russell more than had their measure.
