2025 F1 United States Grand Prix Sprint Results: Verstappen Wins, McLaren Suffers Double Disaster

  • On Saturday, McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris collided and retired from the U.S. Grand Prix sprint race, with Norris stopping on track and Piastri retiring with suspension damage.
  • At Turn 1, Piastri was tagged while cutting back underneath Norris, and Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg hit Piastri, catapulting him into Norris and causing their crash.
  • After stopping on track, Norris said `Someone just wiped me out, I'm out`, and McLaren boss Zak Brown told Sky Sports television neither driver was to blame and criticized amateur driving.
  • A safety car slowed the 19‑lap sprint as Verstappen led, with eight points awarded to the winner and Verstappen able to cut the gap to Piastri's McLaren lead to 55 points.
  • The result handed Verstappen a clear chance to close the gap as the double retirement gave him a golden opportunity, though the team insists Verstappen remains a wildcard outsider.
