Max Verstappen hunting down Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in title charge - McLaren rivals wobbling as Red Bull’s reigning four-time world champion makes dramatic late push

Max Verstappen is chasing a fifth Formula 1 championship after a dominant weekend at the United States Grand Prix.

Yet after his weekend sweep in Austin, winning the sprint and Sunday’s grand prix for a maximum haul of 33 points, even Verstappen had to soften his stance a bit. “For sure, the chance is there,” he admitted after the race on Sunday. “I’m really just very excited for the end.”

The Red Bull driver has cut a 104 point deficit to just 40 after a great run.

Lewis Hamilton has said Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have to be cutthroat with Max Verstappen in their fight for the world championship.

The grid arrived at the Circuit of the Americas for the United States Grand Prix, and a fresh new race week. However, the opening lap of the Singapore Grand Prix two weeks prior still hung over the paddock.

Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris have clashed twice in the past two races, leading McLaren to wipe the slate clean for the final five F1 races of 2025
