Max Verstappen won the US Grand Prix for the first time in his career.
The 24-year-old Dutchman extended his lead over Formula 1 record world champion Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes in the classification to twelve points in the Red Bull.
International media comment on this as follows:
ENGLAND
"The Guardian":
"But after the initial drama, the competition turned into a game of chess rather than a tough competition: a question of team strategy and tire stability, the increases and not the incidents on a hot afternoon in Texas that Hamilton stayed longer remained on his tires as Verstappen. "
“The Sun”:
“They flocked to Austin by the thousands to see this race.
For the first time in its 70-year history, Formula 1 seems to have finally cracked the American market. "
The Telegraph:
They say everything is bigger in Texas: the steaks, the sky, the hats, the boots.
Formula 1 can now also be added to this list.
What a weekend.
What a race. "
