Max Verstappen finished in third at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin. The Red Bull driver finished behind both Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz but still extended his gap out front in the championship standings. Championship rival Lando Norris finished behind him in fourth place after he was given a five-second time penalty in the latter stages. In the post-race press conference, Max Verstappen reflected on the Grand Prix, stating that he knew a win wasn't on the cards almost immediately.
