F1 Drivers' Standings 2023 after the United States Grand Prix

Max Verstappen and Red Bull extended their already-insurmountable leads in the drivers' and constructors' championships respectively at the United States Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc lost out badly though after their disqualification from the race, with the former's fight for second in the championship suffering a massive blow.

The constructors' championship got shaken up too, with the season's fast starters Aston Martin dropping down into fifth place – with the resurgent McLaren squad passing them thanks to Lando Norris' second place finish.
