A controversial five-second penalty for Lando Norris saw the McLaren driver lose ground in his pursuit of Max Verstappen, on a day when Charles Leclerc eased to victory in the United States Grand Prix.

Target number one has been achieved by Charles Leclerc as he breaks DRS on Max Verstappen in second. Carlso Sainz sits in third and Lando Norris is holding onto that fourth place as team-mate Oscar Piastri is failing to close the gap on the Briton.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won the United States Grand Prix sprint race Saturday to earn his first victory of any kind in nearly four months.
