Max Verstappen took his third consecutive Sprint victory at the Circuit of The Americas after title rivals Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri retired in an opening lap collision involving Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg.
Verstappen converted Sprint pole into victory with a dominant performance, despite feeling early pressure from George Russell.
