United States Grand Prix: Max Verstappen dominated the 2025 United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, converting pole position into a commanding victory and closing the gap to the championship leaders. The Red Bull driver led from the start and never relented, while McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris were left scrambling in his wake.

With five races remaining in the season, the result significantly alters the title picture. Norris, by taking second, trimmed Piastri's championship lead to just 14 points, while Verstappen reduced his deficit to Piastri to 40 points.

Verstappen's weekend was virtually flawless. Having won the sprint race and then secured pole position on Saturday, he delivered a textbook victory on Sunday. From the lights he fended off the attentions of Norris and Charles Leclerc to grab the inside line into Turn 1, and from there on he set the pace and held firm. The Dutchman managed tyre life, strategy and traffic with precision - and more significantly, confirmed that Red Bull now appears fast on every type of circuit, reports Xinhua.
