Red Bull’s Max Verstappen dominated the US Grand Prix, increasing the pressure on McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in the championship.
Norris and Piastri finished second and fifth, with Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton between them.
Briton Norris reduced the gap with Piastri in the championship to 14 points with five races to go, while Verstappen reduced the gap with the Australian to 40 points.
Verstappen, who won the sprint race on Saturday, was in complete control after converting his pole position into the lead at the first corner, tightening his control of the race which he has now won a record seven times.
