Sunday's F1 United States Grand Prix provided plenty of drama following an equally entertaining Saturday sprint race.

Turn 1 did not disappoint on Saturday at COTA, ruling Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Fernando Alonso out of the equation on the first lap.

Following a sprint race victory on Saturday, Max Verstappen claimed his 68th career win at the US Grand Prix ahead of Norris in P2.

2025 rule change removes fastest lap point

Fastest lap points have been banished for 2025. Since 2019, drivers have picked up an extra point if they finish in the top 10 and achieve the fastest lap.

However, it did lead to some drivers abandoning their races to pit and fit a set of new tyres at the end in order to claim the fastest lap point, or to stop a rival from getting the extra point.

The most famous example of this in 2024 came during Daniel Ricciardo's final F1 race, when the Australian finished last but claimed the fastest lap on the final lap of the Singapore GP, taking the extra point away from Lando Norris and helping Max Verstappen's title bid.
