Verstappen wins the Sprint in Austin, outside the two McLarens. Ferrari down from the podium

AUSTIN (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – Max Verstappen takes the sprint of the United States Grand Prix, 19th World F1 event scheduled on the circuit of Austin, and re-launches further in the race to the title. Red Bull’s Dutch driver scored the pole position yesterday and ruled George Russell (Mercedes) after a short but intense body. But Verstappen, above all, earns eight more points on the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, staged at the first bend in an accident that also involved Nico Hulkenberg (Kick Sauber) but judged a race accident by the commissioners. Carlos Sainz (Williams), while Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc’s Ferraris close in fourth and fifth position. Alexander Albon (Williams), Yuki Tsunoda (Red Bull) and Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes).
