Max Verstappen (No. 1 Red Bull Racing) emerged victorious at the end of an action-packed United States Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, overhauling and fending off Lewis Hamilton (No. 44 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team) in a tense finale, while his Red Bull team wrapped up their first constructors’ title since 2013. Verstappen’s record-equalling 13th win of the season, and the squad’s championship triumph, came a day after Red Bull co-founder and owner Dietrich Mateschitz passed away – a milestone fifth F1 constructors’ title for the Milton Keynes operation sparking emotional celebrations. Having moved into the lead at the start, avoiding the drama behind as Carlos Sainz (No. 55 Scuderia Ferrari) and George Russell (No. 63 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team) clashed at Turn 1, Verstappen had looked set for a comfortable victory, dealing with multiple Safety Car restarts and managing his pace expertly. But a slow final pit stop opened the door for Hamilton and the recovering Charles Leclerc (No. 16 Scuderia Ferrari), the reigning world champion having to pass both of them to take the checkered flag first – his move on Hamilton coming with just six laps remaining. Despite his sterling efforts, Hamilton had to settle for second place, with Mercedes’ wait for a 2022 victory continuing, while Leclerc salvaged a podium finish for Ferrari as the Italian team mathematically dropped out of contention for the constructors’ crown.

The 2022 MotoGP™ World Championship title race will be decided at the season finale in Valencia, despite Francesco Bagnaia (No. 63 Ducati Lenovo Team) claiming a magnificent seventh win of the campaign at the PETRONAS Grand Prix of Malaysia. Enea Bastianini (No. 23 Gresini Racing MotoGP™) made Pecco and Ducati sweat to finish a close second, as a fabulous effort from reigning World Champion Fabio Quartararo (No. 20 Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™) saw the Frenchman claim P3 to take his title defense to the wire. Marco Bezzecchi’s (No. 72 Mooney VR46 Racing Team Ducati) charge to the podium didn’t quite come to fruition, but P4 for the Italian was another fantastic job done. Alex Rins (No. 42 Team Suzuki Ecstar) rounded out the top five, the Australian GP race winner was 1.5s up the road from sixth place Jack Miller (No. 43 Ducati Lenovo Team) – the Australian produced a great comeback ride from P14 on the grid to help Ducati Lenovo Team pick up the Teams’ title. So, after a magical return to Malaysia, we head to Valencia with the MotoGP™ title race still left on the table. Bagnaia vs Quartararo, Ducati vs Yamaha, Italy vs France at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo.
