Max Verstappen's perfect run so far at F1's 2025 U.S. GP is piling yet more pressure on the McLaren drivers in the world championship stakes

For the 2025 United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, McClure is high on Norris, who is seeking his first season championship. He finished second overall a year ago with 374 points. He has five wins on the season, taking the season opener in March in Australia.

McLaren boss Andrea Stella believes that Max Verstappen's advantage at the United States Grand Prix shows he and Red Bull

Red Bull protege Arvid Lindblad will replace Max Verstappen in Free Practice 1 for Formula 1’s Mexico City Grand Prix. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko confirmed the Formula 2 race winner was going to take part in FP1 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, which Motorsport.com understands Verstappen will temporarily vacate his seat for.

Verstappen headed into the United States Grand Prix 63 points behind Piastri at the top, but with momentum on his side. The reigning world champion has finished ahead of both McLaren drivers in each of the last three full-length races, and if he continues at his current rate, he will take the title fight down to the wire in Abu Dhabi.

Dropping points to the resurgent Max Verstappen in the title race, Andrea Stella accepts "Max is Max, Red Bull is Red Bull".

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen cruised to an easy victory in a crash-filled United States Grand Prix sprint race and then took pole position for the main event on a rough day for Formula 1 championship leader Oscar Piastri.
