Max Verstappen recovered from a disastrous pitstop to win the United States Grand Prix in Austin on sunday. The victory also secured Red Bull their first constructors’ world championship since 2013.Red Bull now have an unbeatable 656 points to Ferrari’s 469
The title, clinched with three races to spare, ended an eight-year streak by Mercedes whose seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton scented a first victory of the year but ended up second at the Circuit of the Americas.
Verstappen’s dominance in 2022 was extended with this victory. He had already won the season title in Japan two weeks before. With three races remaining, his victory on Sunday ties him with Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel for the most in a season. Verstappen has a chance to break that record with three races left and given how he is performing this season, it seems likely he will set the new mark.
