Lando Norris saw off rival Max Verstappen to take pole position for the US Grand Prix and boost his F1 championship dream. Verstappen claimed his first win in nearly four months when he led every lap of the sprint race at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas earlier on Saturday to extend his title advantage from 52 to 54 points.

In a fairly open Formula One season, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc won Sunday's U.S. Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas to tighten the points race.

Max Verstappen ended his winless run to convert his pole position into victory at Saturday’s sprint race in the United States and extend his championship lead over Lando Norris by two points. Verstappen led from start to finish to take the chequered flag 3.8 seconds clear of Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, who moved past Norris on the final lap.
