Lando Norris is penalised for passing Max Verstappen as Charles Leclerc wins the United States Grand Prix.
The title battle between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris erupted in controversy at the United States Grand Prix after the McLaren driver was penalised for passing his rival for third place off the track.
Norris chose not to give the place back, while Verstappen complained he had to, and the stewards agreed with the Dutchman. At the first corner, Norris, who started from pole, appeared to have covered the inside line, but Verstappen went for it anyway and the two drivers both ran off the track on the exit.
Leclerc was 10 seconds in the lead by the time Verstappen in second place made his first pit stop on lap 25. Ferrari pulled him in a lap later and he controlled the race to the end.
