Max Verstappen extended his already insurmountable lead at the top of the Formula 1 drivers' standings with victory in the sprint race at the US Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton made the most of his second row start on the grid, along with his Mercedes upgrades, to be best of the rest behind the three-time world champion, having run him close in the early laps.
Hamilton ended up putting together a heft gap to the drivers fighting for the last step of the podium, showing his pace and his famous mastery of the Texan circuit.
Only one driver failed to finish the 19 laps – Lance Stroll, struck with the brake disc issue which put him out of FP1 on Friday.
