United States Grand Prix 2024: Start time, grid positions, TV channel and live stream for race today
Max Verstappen ended a winless run to convert his pole position into victory at Saturday's Formula One sprint race in the United States and extend his championship lead over Lando Norris by two points.
Verstappen led from start to finish to take the chequered flag 3.8 seconds clear of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, who moved past Norris on the final lap.
Norris hung on to third, one place ahead of Charles Leclerc. George Russell started second but finished only fifth. Lewis Hamilton was sixth in the other Mercedes.
Prior to Saturday's sprint at a sun-cooked Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, Verstappen had not won in his last eight appearances. However, the Dutch driver was back to his all-conquering best by sealing a fine win to increase his title lead from 52 points to 54 ahead of qualifying.
But Verstappen will be second on the grid for Sunday night’s full race, with Norris having produced what he described as the lap of his career so far to take top spot ahead of his rival and the Ferrari duo.
