Fourth sprint race of the season and fourth victory for Max Verstappen. However, the triple world champion does not seem to appreciate this format. Too bad, the Dutchman will encounter these shortened races twice during the end of the season: in Brazil and in Qatar.
Journalist: You seem to be a specialist in sprint races.
Verstappen: Maybe because I don't like them.
Max's formula for winning so many Sprint races 😆 pic.twitter.com/78xfavI09K

Fernando Alonso and Liam Lawson have regularly been at odds in Texas. The Spaniard did not mince his words with the New Zealand rookie on the radio. He even forgot that Racing Bulls replaced the name of AlphaTauri in 2024.
Alonso: The AlphaTauri driver is really an idiot.

The Racing Bulls social media manager was definitely on form this weekend. While Alpine highlighted Esteban Ocon's move to thank AlphaTauri, the Italian team reacted by pointing out the resemblance of the French special livery to that of McLaren.
It's nice of McLaren to lend you their car this weekend.

Max Verstappen, second on the grid, could have stolen this pole from the McLaren driver. But the Dutchman was deprived of it after George Russell went off track just as the Milton Keynes driver was improving his time.

Communication is important between engineers and their pilots. But still, you have to manage to make yourself understood.
Engineer: « More release of the brakes in phase 1, for turn 1 »
Carlos Sainz: « I don't know what that means. »
Carlos 😂 😂 pic.twitter.com/b1zWJllPyo
