Max Verstappen has reduced his deficit in the F1 drivers’ title to 55 points, following both McLaren drivers crashing out in the United States Grand Prix Sprint.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Verstappen claimed the sprint win at the Circuit of the Americas ahead of George Russell and Williams’ Carlos Sainz, while Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri watched on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Piastri attempted a switch back on Norris at the first corner on the opening lap, but found himself sandwiched between Nico Hulkenberg and his team-mate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a result, Hulkenberg and Norris spun, while Piastri pulled off the circuit with significant suspension damage. It increases the pressure on the McLaren pair ahead of qualifying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The result has seen Red Bull close to within seven points of Ferrari in the fight for third in the constructors’ standings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
