Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin dais
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century dais

Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore dais

“To win my 50th career win makes me very proud and we will try to push for me,” said Verstappen dais
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win dais

He crossed the line an agonising 2 dais

As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars dais
First up was Sainz dais
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard dais
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz another place when he made his move at the same corner dais
Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second dais
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road dais
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress dais

Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man dais
It is pretty tough dais
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped dais
“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton dais
“I am struggling out here dais
”You have given me a hell of a gap to closeLewis Hamilton on the team radioOn lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second dais

“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection dais
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 dais
4 sec with Hamilton 7 dais
5 off the lead dais
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end dais
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations dais
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said dais
On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 dais
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick dais
