A brilliant fightback from Max Verstappen saw the Red Bull driver take 2022 United States Grand Prix victory ahead of Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.
The win at the Circuit of the Americas confirmed Red Bull as 2022 Constructors’ Champions, completing a double title win in Formula 1 this season, as well as a fitting tribute to late team owner Dietrich Mateschitz who passed away on Saturday.
Mercedes and Hamilton took advantage of a slow pit stop for Verstappen, and led the final stages of the race with the Red Bull slowing chasing the seven-time champion down.
Eventually Verstappen caught Hamilton with the Mercedes no match for the Red Bull.
