How to Watch United States Grand Prix, Sprint: Stream Formula 1 Live, TV Channel

Max Verstappen, Formula 1’s most successful Sprint driver, looks to keep creeping up on points leaders Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

Since Formula 1 added the Sprint format to its schedule with three short races in 2021, no one has had more success than Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen. The four-time defending world champion has won 12 of the 21 Sprints held, including the most recent one at Spa back in July. Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari won the Sprint in China in March, with McLaren’s Lando Norris claiming the eight points for a Sprint victory at Miami in May. The fourth of six Sprint events is set for Saturday ahead of the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

Oscar Piastri of McLaren holds a 22-point lead over teammate Norris in the standings after missing the podium in the last two Grands Prix.

Verstappen has cut his deficit 63 points heading into COTA with four consecutive podium finishes, including victories in Italy and Azerbaijan with second-place runs in Netherlands and Singapore.

McLaren clinched the constructors championship in Singapore with Norris’ third-place run and Piastri’s fourth-place finish, claiming the crown for the second consecutive season to stop a two-year run by Red Bull Racing.
