Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin cagayan
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 cagayan
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting cagayan
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore cagayan
Verstappen joins Hamilton (103 wins), Michael Schumacher (91), Sebastian Vettel (53) and Alain Prost (51) in the half-century club cagayan
“To win my 50th career win makes me very proud and we will try to push for me,” said Verstappen cagayan
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win cagayan
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops cagayan
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 cagayan
He crossed the line an agonising 2 cagayan
2 sec behind Verstappen with Norris hanging on to the final spot on the podium cagayan
Hamilton could count himself unfortunate to drop from third to fourth at the start cagayan
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through cagayan
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume top spot cagayan
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 cagayan
First up was Sainz cagayan
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 cagayan
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz another place when he made his move at the same corner cagayan
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 cagayan
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 cagayan
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress cagayan
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque cagayan
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four cagayan
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails cagayan
The Duke of Sussex has been something of lucky charm for Hamilton cagayan
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 cagayan
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round cagayan
But Hamilton stayed out cagayan
Were Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced cagayan
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man cagayan
It is pretty tough cagayan
”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 cagayan
“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton cagayan
“I am struggling out here cagayan
”You have given me a hell of a gap to closeLewis Hamilton on the team radioOn lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second cagayan
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen cagayan
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection cagayan
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 cagayan
4 sec with Hamilton 7 cagayan
5 off the lead cagayan
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end cagayan
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations cagayan
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said cagayan
On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 cagayan
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick cagayan
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last cagayan
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots cagayan
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris cagayan
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound cagayan
Hamilton had the bit cagayan between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren cagayan
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained cagayan better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes cagayan
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps cagayan
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes cagayan

World Rugby have insisted their new plans for a “Nations Championship or Cup” are “for the many, not the few” despite critics suggesting that it will block the progress of emerging nations cagayan
The sport’s governing body have unveiled a new global calendar that will include the creation of a new, two-tier competition in 2026 cagayan
The top tier will include the four Rugby Championship teams, the Six Nations and two more sides yet to be confirmed but expected to be Japan and Fiji cagayan
Below this will sit a second tier of a further 12 teams, with the earliest that one of those dozen could feature in the top tier being 2032 cagayan
And World Rugby insist that the “certainty and opportunity” that regular fixtures against peers will provide is where the real opportunities for development exist cagayan
“If rugby is to become a truly global sport, we simply have to make it more relevant and more accessible to more people around the world,” said Bill Beaumont, chairman of World Rugby cagayan
Bill Beaumont and Alan Gilpin have defended World Rugby’s plans (Getty Images)“A new era is about to begin for our sport cagayan
An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all cagayan
An era that will support the many, not the few and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries cagayan
All boats will rise together cagayan
”Alan Gilpin, chief executive, added: “There is more certainty for more nations as a result of today’s decisions than there has ever been cagayan
It is not perfect cagayan
Would we all like relegation and promotion and pathways in these competitions to start sooner in some cases than they are? Absolutely cagayan
“But those compromises allow for that type of pathway, that type of relegation to take place in the foreseeable future, rather than not in the foreseeable future, which is what the status quo provides cagayan
Is it perfect? Probably not cagayan
Is it a hell of a lot cagayan better than the current situation? Absolutely cagayan
”The revamped calendar will not include a “Nations Championship” in years in which a men’s World Cup or British & Irish Lions tour will occur, in theory providing room for increased “crossover” fixtures cagayan
World Rugby could not provide any clarity on what these fixtures will be, and admitted that no agreements had yet been put in place, though insisted that there will be a 50 per cent aggregate increase cagayan
That would mean a rise from 18 to 27 games for the 12 teams, though it is unclear how these fixtures will be allocated or arranged cagayan
Gilpin said: “I think what we say to the teams – Portugal, Chile, others that have had fantastic tournaments here – is this competition structure from 2026 will provide them with guaranteed certain schedules, particularly against their peers, which is actually the type of teams they need to be playing against, in July and November on an annual basis cagayan
Portugal upset Fiji to secure their first Rugby World Cup win (Getty Images)“In addition, the package that was agreed today provides for more crossover fixtures for what we used to call tier one and tier two fixtures in the years when this championship isn’t being played than is currently the case cagayan
So, 50 per cent more guaranteed crossover fixtures in those other years than is currently the case, in addition to guaranteed fixtures against their peers that they don’t currently have cagayan
“This is about looking at other years – traditionally what we have called ‘Lions years’ and the Rugby World Cup years – and populating those periods with fixtures that allow those possibilities and that the high-performance unions agreeing that some of their Rugby World Cup warm-up matches have to be against those other teams cagayan
”Bill Sweeney, chief executive of England’s Rugby cagayan Football Union (RFU), was later unclear on whether England would be open to touring or playing fixtures against emerging nations cagayan
He did, however, confirm that talks were underway over a fixture cagayan between a resurrected England ‘A’ and Portugal after a standout tournament for Os Lobos cagayan
“We’re all interested in growing the game globally,” Sweeney explained cagayan
“We saw Portugal here and Chile, they were great competitors cagayan
So we’re fully supportive of that cagayan
I think there’s a number of factors here that people should feel encouraged about in terms of emerging nations cagayan
