Formula 1 is back after a two-week hiatus and heads to the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, next for the US Grand Prix.
After a gruelling race in Qatar, where Max Verstappen sealed his third consecutive title for Red Bull, the focus now shifts to American soil.
Behind him, the race was filled with drama, as the Mercedes pair of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell collided on the first lap, resulting in Hamilton’s retirement.
Oscar Piastri, the Australian rookie, impressed everyone by holding off a late charge from McLaren teammate Lando Norris and securing his biggest finish in the sport to date.
The intense Qatari heat also played a role, with several drivers struggling physically throughout the race.
Race predictions
With his recent victory in Qatar, Verstappen is the clear favourite for the US Grand Prix.
However, the Circuit of the Americas has always thrown up surprises, and with the likes of Norris and Piastri showing strong form, it’s anyone’s race, and Sergio Perez will be looking to bounce back after a challenging race in Qatar.
Let’s dive into the betting odds and predictions for the upcoming race.
