Formula 1 – Results – United States 2025
Who Claimed Victory in the F1 Sprint Race?
In an action-packed Sprint Race held on October 18, 2025, at the United States Grand Prix, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen emerged victorious. The race commenced with considerable chaos, resulting in the early retirement of both McLaren drivers, and significant challenges for Hulkenberg, Alonso, and Tsunoda.
The first turn was particularly tumultuous. Oscar Piastri, attempting to overtake his teammate, inadvertently collided with Hulkenberg. This incident also involved Norris, with Alonso being affected by Nico’s actions, and Tsunoda found himself with a piece of Sauber’s wing lodged in his car. The incidents prompted the deployment of the safety car, leading to the early exits of Norris, Piastri, and Alonso, while Hulkenberg fell back to the 15th position.
In contrast, Charles Leclerc skillfully navigated the debris and the mayhem, managing to secure the 4th place. Tsunoda, despite being part of the initial chaos, made an impressive recovery, moving up by more than 10 positions. Bortoleto also capitalized on the situation, climbing from 20th to 13th. After six laps under the safety car, Max Verstappen maintained his lead, followed closely by George Russell, Carlos Sainz, Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton, who rounded out the top five.
As the race progressed, an incident involving Lance Stroll and Esteban Ocon brought the race to another safety car finish. With this result, Max Verstappen solidified his reputation in sprint races, narrowing the gap to Norris in the championship standings. Russell and Sainz completed the podium, while the top eight, who earned points, included Hamilton, Leclerc, Albon, Tsunoda, and Antonelli, thanks to Bearman’s penalty. Bortoleto, who started in 20th position, impressively finished in 11th, while Hulkenberg ended the race in 13th place.
