Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin - before Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified more than three hours later passy

Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century passy

Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting passy

Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore passy

He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win passy

Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops passy

But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far passy

The drama did not stop there though passy

As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars passy

First up was Sainz passy

Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard passy

On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz to another place when he made his move at the same corner passy

Lando Norris took the lead at the start of the race (Getty)Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second passy

Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road passy

Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress passy

He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque passy

He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four passy

In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails passy

The Duke of Sussex has been something of a lucky charm for Hamilton passy

He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio passy

Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round passy

But Hamilton stayed out passy

Was Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced passy

Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man passy

It is pretty tough passy

”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped passy

When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen passy

“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection passy

When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 passy

The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last passy

The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots passy

Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris passy

Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound passy

Hamilton had the bit passy between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren passy

Never has it been clearer that Fiji do things differently passy

It can’t have been more than 90 minutes after defeat to England was confirmed when the sound of a Pacific Island beat and stomping feet bounced around the bowels of the Stade Velodrome, Simon Raiwalui’s beaten side making their Rugby World Cup exit with a boombox, and their heads, held high passy

There was disappointment there, of course, perhaps most prominently on the face of the captain Waisea Nayacalevu, frustrated not just about the opportunities missed both against England and earlier in the tournament, but also perceived mistreatment by the officials passy

For coach Raiwalui, though, the overriding emotion was pride passy

“The joy is there,” Raiwalui said passy

“We celebrate together, we suffer together passy

For 15 weeks these boys have worked hard and we will celebrate that passy

We’re hurting now in terms of the result but I couldn’t be prouder of this group in terms of what they’ve put in passy

They’ve built something for the next generation of Fijian rugby players passy

They’ve laid a foundation passy

RecommendedFrance suffer painful symmetry with Ireland as Springboks continue southern dominanceThe one change England must make to combat ‘incredible’ Springboks in World Cup semi-finalRugby World Cup power rankings: Assessing the final four"We’re hurting at the moment and it will hurt for a long time because it was something we had built and we thought we could go further passy

The belief in the team has always been there passy

I’m bursting with pride passy

”Raiwalui’s mention of a foundation is key because it feels like finally, after years of governance issues and broken promises, one has been laid passy

Few of the Fijian starting line-up for Sunday’s quarter-final represent the Fijian Drua, but the impact of the Super Rugby Pacific franchise could be felt off the bench: scrum half Simione Kuruvoli and back five forward Meli Derenalagi - a potential successor to Nayacalevu as captain with the centre unlikely to make another World Cup – were among those to produce prominent cameos passy

The Drua project is still new passy

It is only a couple of years since their injection into the southern hemisphere’s premier club competition but already it is paying dividends, the extra cohesion and competition driving Fiji forward passy

There are the right people in place to build it, too, not just in Raiwalui – previously high performance general manager at the union – but also former Harlequins chief executive Mark Evans, involved off the field with the Drua passy

With Raiwalui confirming that he will not be staying beyond the end of the year, finding the right fit as the next head coach is obviously crucial passy

Fiji are likely to gain immediate entry into the 12-team top tier of the new World League, ensuring that their growth can continue across consistent annual fixtures passy

Having a large Drua squad based domestically to form the bedrock of the national side should allow for a much easier transition into international campaigns passy

While this might have been the last World Cup for stars like Levani Botia and Nayacalevu, it can be said with confidence that new ones will emerge - 20-year-old flanker Motikai Murray is a figure of budding back row brilliance, while rangy runner Joseva Talacolo and prop Emosi Tuqiri are names to monitor passy

There is uncertainty over the future of the sevens circuit but it remains a vital proving ground for Fiji, who will be eyeing a third successive gold medal in rugby’s condensed format at the Paris Olympics next summer passy

There is a tendency to homogenise the experiences of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, three very different nations clumped together given their relative proximity in the south Pacific passy

Fiji’s on-islands population is three times that of Samoa and Tonga combined, and there is thus less reliance on the diaspora to provide players passy

Providing opportunities to let the three nations thrive, rather than just survive, is vital, and different approaches will be required to ensure this passy

Simon Raiwalui has proved a shrewd appointment as head coach (Getty Images)But certainly there appears a positive plan mapped out that will allow Fiji to fulfil their potential passy

“We’ve come a long way in this World Cup,” said Derenalagi passy

“Even though we are hurt and we didn’t get the result for today’s game but as a brotherhood that we formed and the bond we formed inside the team passy

“That’s what family means to us, even though we are far away from our family passy

As a team we try to build a family and a brotherhood and that’s what you can see with our celebrations, even though we lost passy

"We reached the quarter-final in 2007 and after 16 years we reached it again passy

We will make sure that at the next World Cup, we will climb higher again passy
