After an action-packed weekend at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA), Formula 1 cars hit the track for the final time today – Sunday, October 19 – for the 2025 United States Grand Prix.

With the sprint weekend format in place in Austin, Texas, we have already seen plenty of competitive F1 action on track, with Red Bull star and reigning world champion Max Verstappen winning Saturday’s sprint race, which also saw a dramatic collision between the current top two in the championship, McLaren‘s Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

Verstappen also topped Saturday’s qualifying session and starts Sunday’s grand prix on pole, with Norris joining him on the front row. Piastri, meanwhile, starts in sixth, making for a fascinating race in terms of the championship battle.

Ahead of lights out on Sunday afternoon, Piastri continues to lead the way in the drivers’ standings, 22 points clear of his teammate, and just 55 ahead of Verstappen after the Red Bull driver’s sprint performance earned him an eight-point swing.

It will certainly be interesting to see how those gaps look come the checkered flag at COTA on Sunday, and with that said, let’s get into the all-important details that you came here for!
