Max Verstappen beat Lewis Hamilton to win the sprint race at Formula 1’s 2023 United States Grand Prix, with Charles Leclerc finishing third from Lando Norris.
At the start, Verstappen and Leclerc moved away seemingly in unison, but the Ferrari gained during the launch’s second phase. As Leclerc tried to move alongside the Red Bull, Verstappen edged his rival right across the track and close to the grass by the pitlane exit.
7s gap to Leclerc, which he ate up over the rest of the race – finishing just 0.8s behind the GP polesitter, who Norris will start alongside on Sunday. Perez passed Sainz on the lap after Norris and held onto fifth to the end, albeit 4s adrift of Norris, with Leclerc just ahead.
