Follow all the action live from Austin for the 2025 F1 United States Grand Prix.
“Max Verstappen will aim to close in on the McLaren drivers and take advantage of his pole position at the United States Grand Prix.
Having secured victory in the Sprint race and with both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris facing retirements, Verstappen’s championship gap has shrunk to 55 points, giving him a great opportunity to reduce it further.
With Norris starting in second place and Piastri in sixth, a stable finishing order would see Piastri holding a mere 12-point advantage over Norris and 38 ahead of Verstappen, with 141 points still up for grabs.
The outcome of the 56-lap race remains uncertain, especially with Lewis Hamilton eyeing his first podium for Ferrari starting from fifth on the grid.
