Al Jazeera
Verstappen and Norris are separated by 57 points on the drivers’ championship table after the race, with Leclerc third.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc clinched his third Formula One race of the season as he finished ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz to win the United States Grand Prix, while title rivals Lando Norris and Max Verstappen were locked in a controversial finish.
Monaco native Leclerc helped Ferrari finish the race one-two as Spaniard Sainz was placed second, 8.562 seconds behind Leclerc’s winning time of 1:35:09.639 in a memorable race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
“It wasn’t an easy weekend but I had the confidence in the race,” Leclerc said afterwards.
“We still had the upper hand, we couldn’t have dreamed for better.”
Leclerc had also won the Monaco Grand Prix and Italian Grand Prix this year and sits third in the driver standings behind Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, who tangled late in the race in a sequence that saw Norris receive a substantial penalty.
