Carlos Sainz will lose five places on the grid in Mexico.
The stewards of the United States Grand Prix reviewed the collision between Carlos Sainz and Kimi Antonelli at Turn 15 on lap six of the race. As a result of the incident, Kimi fell back to the end of the field and Carlos retired from the race.
After considering the circumstances and hearing from the drivers, the stewards found Carlos Sainz to be at fault for the collision.
The stewards' decision reads as follows: “The driver of car No.55 stated that he had expected the driver of car No.12 to leave him room at the apex of the corner, but the driver of car No.12 turned in earlier, and the driver of car No.55 locked his brakes when it became clear that contact was inevitable.
He suggested that the driver of car No.12 should have anticipated the overtaking attempt and left him space to avoid contact.

In the final laps Alpine asked the drivers to hold position and not fight so that there would be enough fuel to make it to the finish, but Franco Colapinto attacked and overtook Pierre Gasly, which the team did not like…
Pierre Gasly (19th): "A bad day. In Austin the car was working inefficiently; in the race we were too slow. At the start I was following Lawson in a group of several cars, it seemed everything was going well, but then there was a delay at the pit stop, and from that moment everything went wrong. We need to analyze everything and understand why on Sundays we are uncompetitive. We are working on it and will continue fighting next weekend in Mexico."
Franco Colapinto (17th): "A tough day and a tough weekend for the team. I didn't avoid mistakes, and there were problems with the car, but we keep working and always try to achieve more. At the end of the race I had slightly fresher tyres than Pierre, Bortoleto attacked — I wanted to keep him behind and got into the fight. We'll discuss it within the team and draw conclusions."
Steve Nielsen, team principal: "Our pace doesn't allow us to consistently score points, but we did make a small step forward. Like many other teams, we adapted our strategy to the conditions. In Pierre's case we wanted to avoid an undercut by switching early to softer tyres, but there was a delay, the causes of which we will investigate. Franco was able to extend his stint on the Mediums to catch up with Pierre by the end of the race. We asked the drivers to hold position because we were managing the fuel consumption of both cars given the remaining laps. We believe any instruction from the pit wall is mandatory, and today we are disappointed that this did not happen. We will resolve this internally."

The stewards fined Red Bull Racing €50,000.
The stewards of the United States Grand Prix fined Red Bull Racing €50,000 for a breach of the FIA International Sporting Code.
The actual reason for the fine was that a team member passed through gate number 1, which leads to the starting grid, after the formation lap had begun prior to the race start.
The stewards' decision states that marshals tried to stop the team member, but he did not respond to their attempts. At the hearing, an official representative of Red Bull Racing told the stewards that, according to the team member who had gone out, the marshals did not try to stop him.
However, the stewards noted that all team members "must know that going onto the track or interfering with safety measures for preparing the track for the race after the grid has been cleared is strictly prohibited."
As a result, Red Bull Racing was found guilty of breaching clauses 12.2.1.

In qualifying in Austin, Oliver Bearman once again finished ahead of the experienced Esteban Ocon...
Oliver Bearman (8th): "It's nice to achieve such a high result in qualifying. Yesterday we fitted updates to my car; I didn't use them in practice and am still getting used to them, but the result is already pleasing.
I'm proud that I made it to the final, where I put in a good lap. The car is fine. The changes we made between Friday and Saturday had a good effect. We'll see how things unfold in the race."
Esteban Ocon (17th): "In qualifying the car lacked speed and stability on the high-speed sections. I had to drive with some margin, not attack too much, otherwise the rear of the car became unstable and I risked losing control. Overall, Saturday was a little better than Friday, but that's not enough."

Berman: I was really scared of being disqualified.
Oliver Bearman — the leader in penalty points over the past 12 months — has ten out of a possible twelve. After the Saturday sprint the stewards could have given him another two — for an incident battling Kimi Antonelli — and he admitted he was genuinely scared of being disqualified.
Oliver Bearman: "I don't know, guys, what you thought, but I genuinely felt awful about the possibility of being disqualified. For a minute I thought I would be forced to miss the next race, so I was very, very upset. Fortunately, the stewards limited themselves to only a 10‑second penalty.
Obviously, after everything that happened there's still a fire in me — I fought my way into the qualifying final and I'm starting eighth today.
You can imagine how tough this weekend has been for me. I'm a rookie, competing at this rough, bumpy circuit for the first time.

Berman: Tsunoda's actions were very dangerous.
Oliver Bearman scored a couple of points in Austin for ninth place, Esteban Ocon finished 15th, but Haas were unable to cut the gap to Sauber in the Constructors' Championship because Nico Hülkenberg saw the chequered flag seven and a half seconds ahead of the British driver.
Oliver Bearman (9th): "If someone had told me before this weekend that I'd finish eighth in the sprint and ninth today, I would have been very happy. The weekend really went quite well, and the team scored a few points, but it's clear we could have achieved more. As for the incident with Yuki Tsunoda, I think his actions were very dangerous and ran contrary to the spirit of the rules. Although I managed to avoid a collision, I lost two positions, which is regrettable. I'm disappointed because the car's pace would have allowed us to fight for higher positions.

Tsunoda's comeback prompts Marko to reconsider the decision for 2026.
"Let's examine how far we can make a decision at this point."
Yuki Tsunoda's impressive weekend in Austin might have come just in time to secure his position in Formula 1, as Red Bull advisor Dr. Helmut Marko now seems to be postponing a decision regarding who will partner Max Verstappen in 2026. Marko had earlier stated that a decision would be made following next weekend's Mexican GP. However, after Tsunoda's strong performance in Austin and a lackluster showing from Isack Hadjar, Marko appeared less certain.
"That’s not our priority right now," Marko told Sky Deutschland when asked about the decision timeline. "Generally, that’s the plan. Let’s see how far we can decide then."
Marko was seen smiling and conversing with Tsunoda as Red Bull celebrated Verstappen’s latest victory and renewed title challenge.

Red Bull still has car updates 'in reserve.'
"The atmosphere within the team is currently very positive."
Max Verstappen has reignited the battle for the Formula 1 world championship, cutting Oscar Piastri’s lead down to just 40 points after a commanding performance at the United States GP, which left Red Bull filled with confidence and McLaren noticeably unsettled. Since Zandvoort, Verstappen has regained 64 points, claiming four victories and showcasing a form that De Telegraaf described as evidence that "the 2025 Formula 1 season will reach an incredibly spectacular climax."
"If someone had told me after Zandvoort that I'd be back in the fight now, I would have called you crazy," Verstappen said with a smile. "We’ve just figured out a good setup for the car. We recognized where we needed to improve its performance. Each weekend, we aim to achieve that—and it has been much clearer in the last few races.

Vasser: Our plan was about 50 percent successful.
Ferrari hadn't scored that many points for a long time as it did after the United States Grand Prix, and it wasn't only because Charles Leclerc climbed onto the podium in Austin and Lewis Hamilton finished right behind his teammate. The weekend at the Texas circuit, Circuit of the Americas, included a sprint, and in Saturday's sprint the Scuderia drivers finished 4th and 5th — only then had Lewis beaten Charles.
But at the start of the weekend the Italian team had difficulties, and nothing promised a spectacular follow-up; however, by Sunday Ferrari had dealt with them, and for a large part of the race Leclerc ran in second place, successfully fending off numerous attacks from Lando Norris. The McLaren driver was able to overtake him only five laps from the finish.

United States Grand Prix: Curious statistics
A few curious statistical findings following the United States Grand Prix…
Qualifying
By winning qualifying in Austin, Max Verstappen secured the 47th pole position of his career and his seventh of the season. He sits fifth on the all-time list, with Sebastian Vettel fourth on 57 poles. Lewis Hamilton leads the list with 104 career poles.
In the ranking by number of poles for a single team, Verstappen moved up to third, overtaking Ayrton Senna, who took 46 poles for McLaren. Next in the ranking are Michael Schumacher with 58 poles for Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton with 78 poles for Mercedes.
The pole in Austin was the 50th for Red Bull with Honda engines, although they are now branded differently.
Lando Norris set the second-fastest time, starting from the front row for the 25th time in his career.
Charles Leclerc’s third place was his best result since his pole in Hungary.

Leo Turrini on the results of the United States Grand Prix: Better than nothing
When Ferrari delights its fans, Leo Turrini, whose comments we periodically cite, does not stint on praise. The veteran of Italian motorsport journalism is generally distinguished by the fact that he always tries to spot some positive moments – of course, if they exist.
After the United States Grand Prix he rated the main protagonists on a 10-point scale, and even one character well known to us, who usually remains off-camera, made it into his personal ranking.
In Austin we saw a rather respectable performance from Ferrari, if not more. Charles Leclerc was excellent, Lewis Hamilton also looked dignified.
When you are tormented by thirst, even a light rain is already good.
Besides, as they say in America, "we've got a new sheriff in town.

Our daily newsletter delivers the most important stories straight to your inbox every weekday.
The team at Edison Motors is doing something noteworthy. They’ve constructed several diesel-electric, series-hybrid semi trucks, and now they’ve added a couple of pickups to their lineup. These vehicles—a second-generation Ram and a 79-Series Toyota Land Cruiser—act as proof of concept for the Canadian company’s future swap kits. The concept is that, with Edison’s technology, any pickup manufactured in the last sixty years can be upgraded to utilize a diesel-electric powertrain.
Chace Barber, Edison’s president and co-founder, is quite resourceful.
