Norris was slammed with a five-second penalty at the US GP for an illegal overtake, which saw him demoted from third to fourth, and allowed Verstappen to extend his lead to 57 points in the drivers' standings.

However, it was Ferrari who demonstrated the strongest package at COTA, with Charles Leclerc achieving his third race victory of the season.
