Max Verstappen clawed eight points against his rivals at the USGP Sprint as both McLaren’s crashed out.
A sad day for McLaren as both cars crashed into each other at turn one as there was a typical lap 1, turn 1 sandwich. This leaves Max 55 points behind Oscar in the driver’s championship.
A great day for Carlos Sainz and Williams with another podium finish and second place for George Russell on the back of a freshly signed Mercedes contract extension.
