Max Verstappen: Wins United States GP Sprint
Verstappen won the United States Grand Prix Sprint Formula 1 race at Circuit of the Americas on Saturday afternoon.
Analysis:
The Red Bull Racing star would get well off from P1 at the lights out and would control the Sprint with good pace and smart driving. Lando Norris would charge past both Ferrari's and George Russell to challenge Verstappen for much of the Sprint. However, Verstappen would pull away in the closing laps and secure a comfortable 3.8-second victory over Carlos Sainz. He would be rewarded with 8 points for his efforts in Austin.
