Max Verstappen recovered from a slow pit stop in Sunday’s race at Austin to seal his 13th victory of the season at the United States Grand Prix, securing Red Bull’s first constructors’ title since 2013.

Verstappen made a quick getaway from second to lead at the first corner before a slow pit stop forced the Dutch driver to overtake Charles Leclerc and then Lewis Hamilton to seal his second consecutive win in Austin.

Hamilton took the chequered flag in second place ahead of Leclerc in third and a charging Sergio Perez in fourth. George Russell finished fifth after serving a five-second time penalty for his part in a collision with Carlos Sainz – who retired from the race with water leak damage.
