Austin –
McLaren’s dueling pair of world championship leader Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, who is second, will be looking warily in their rearview mirrors this weekend at the United States Grand Prix for Max Verstappen.
With six rounds remaining, the two McLarens are separated by just 22 points, with four-time champion Verstappen adrift of Piastri by 63 points but reveling in his recent form after beating both in the last three races.
Red Bull’s Verstappen has turned a seemingly lost cause into a thrilling late, if unexpected, charge for a fifth title.
