Red Bull driver Max Verstappen, of the Netherlands, reacts after winning the pole during for the sprint race ahead of the Formula One U.S. Grand Prix auto race at Circuit of the Americas, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, in Austin, Texas. Max Verstappen led every lap of Saturday’s Formula 1 sprint race ahead of the United States Grand Prix.
Hamilton finished a comfortable second while Leclerc was third. The victory is Verstappen's third sprint win of the season. Sprint races award points to the top eight finishers with the winner getting eight points and eighth-place receiving one point. A significant reason for Red Bull’s pace advantage in 2023 has been the car’s ability to not heavily wear out its tires. That could loom large on Sunday at a Circuit of the Americas track that eats up tire life and Verstappen pulled away from Hamilton and the rest of the field over the second half of the sprint. The winning margin ended up being almost 10 seconds by the time the checkered flag flew.
