What did we learn at the Circuit of the Americas as Verstappen won for the 50th time in his career?
“Max Verstappen showcased his dominance with a victory at the United States Grand Prix, despite facing challenges from Lewis Hamilton. However, Hamilton and another driver were later disqualified, raising questions for the Mercedes team. Verstappen’s start from sixth on the grid proved to be a strategic move as he skillfully navigated the race, battling issues with his car along the way. With 15 wins this season, Verstappen is close to breaking the record for most victories in a single season. Mercedes showed improvement with a new upgrade package, although Hamilton’s disqualification overshadowed their progress. Ferrari had a strong weekend on paper, but their race pace and strategic failures raised concerns. The Sprint format still needs refinement after five weekends, as it limits practice running and affects cars’ set-up.”
