Today's F1 sprint race at Austin was full of more drama than usual. Continuing his recent run of good form, Max Verstappen claimed pole position ahead of the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri with Nico Hulkenberg in a great fourth position. Max made a good start with Oscar making a better start than Lando. At the first corner, Nico and Oscar collided and also took out Lando and Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin bringing out the safety car. At the restart, Max stayed ahead of George Russell's Mercedes, although George did unsuccessfully challenge for the lead three laps later. Just after that, Charles Leclerc went wide in his Ferrari allowing team mate Lewis Hamilton to get by. With three laps to go, Lance Stroll hit Esteban Ocon's Haas taking out both cars and meaning non-finishes for both Aston Martins. Unlike NASCAR, the race finished under a safety car as the cars don't refuel and don't have enough to do extra laps. At the flag, Max took the win and eight points. That further closes the gap to the non-finishing McLaren drivers. George got second and Carlos Sainz took an impressive third for Williams ahead of the two Ferraris. You can see the highlights here. Due to the time difference, I won't see the qualifying highlights for the main race until tomorrow morning, and it may be Monday before I post the race review.

George Russell took a very impressive pole for Mercedes in Singapore yesterday with an in-form Max Verstappen in second ahead of title leader Oscar Piastri. Williams, who had qualified 12th and 13th, had both cars disqualified due to illegal rear wing openings, so started at the back. Oscar's team mate Lando Norris got a good start from fifth and managed to take third after some minor contact. Charles Leclerc also got away well and got to fourth ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli. There was a bit of place swapping in the mid-field, but it's a hard to overtake in Singapore. Despite a spin by Nico Hulkenberg on lap 45, the race avoided any form of safety car for the second year in a row. Toward the end, Lando was closing on Max, but just couldn't get past. At the flag, George Russell took his second win of the year ahead of Max and Lando. Oscar nearly caught the battle ahead, but had to settle for fourth. Lewis had a quick second half of the race, but ceded his position to Charles near the end, and was also penalized a position for exceeding track limits when his brakes faded. Finishing third and fourth, Lando only closed the gap to Oscar by three points in the Drivers' Championship. They did, however, do enough for McLaren to claim this year's Constructors' Championship with six races to go. That's back-to-back wins for the team. You can see the race highlights here. We're back stateside for the next race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin in two weeks.
