Max Verstappen won the United States Grand Prix from Land Norris on Sunday, but was pushed to the end in an unusually tight race for this 2023 season.

A hard fought race saw teams challenging each other from the pit wall as much as on the track, with strategies key as teams decided between one and two-stop strategies.

Hamilton pitted later than his rivals and fitted the faster medium tyre compared to Lando Norris and Verstappen's hard compounds, and the three of them pulled away from the rest of the pack after their final stops. However, Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were later disqualified after falling foul of regulations.

The Ferrari of Carlos Sainz ended up challenging Norris for what eventually became second spot, but just about held the the Spaniard off despite his McLaren eating up its tyres before the chequered flag.
