Ferrari wins the US Grand Prix as Verstappen finishes ahead of Norris
The US Grand Prix ended with a double success of the Ferrari team - Charles Leclerc was first as Carlos Sainz finished in the second position. Monegasque on the first lap took advantage of the struggle between Lando Norris and Max Verstappen and took the lead, not letting any of his rivals close and eventually bringing the race to a confident victory.
The most interesting events today occurred in the battle for third place between Verstappen and Norris. The Englishman was on fresher tyres at the end of the race, but the Dutchman was not going to let him pass, time after time stopping the attacks of his main rival in the fight for the title. As a result, Lando overtook Max only outside the track, for which he was given five second penalty and lost the podium.
