That'll wrap up the live text coverage of the US GP weekend. Never fear, we'll be back next weekend for the Mexican GP which sees the return of the traditional format. Until then, have a wonderful rest of your Sunday. Go well!
McLaren is up to fourth at the expense of Aston Martin in the F1 world constructors' standings with the haul of points from Norris, while in the drivers' Perez's hold on second place over Hamilton is down to 19 points.
After some decent chitchat on the cooldown room, the podium trio come out on to the rostrum, but Verstappen is greeted by some boos that are followed by chants of "Checo!"
Norris on third place: "Leading the race, we controlled it a lot, but just not enough today. We knew our struggles, the degradation, and the pace at the start of the race and start of stints was strong, but I couldn't hold on."
Hamilton on second place and coming so close to catching Verstappen: "Firstly we have to congratulate these guys [Red Bull] and Max, they've done an incredible job all year. They've been flawless. We were catching them towards the end and I was hopeful but we needed some more laps."
Verstappen on his not-so-straightforward US GP win: "I think the whole race I was struggling with the brakes. I couldn't have the same feeling as yesterday which made my race tougher."
Tsunoda completes the points places and with the fastest lap he doubles his tally! Albon, with a late penalty, is 11th ahead of Sargeant and Hulkenberg. Bottas, Zhou, Magnussen and Ricciardo complete the finishers.
Sainz takes fourth ahead of Perez and Leclerc, with Russell just 0.3s off in seventh. Gasly takes eighth with Stroll going from the pitlane to finish ninth.
Verstappen wins the United States GP! He holds on to record his 50th career win in F1! Hamilton has to settle for second and Norris completes the podium.
Verstappen leads by 4.3s from Hamilton and is still able to match his pace, so with four laps to go his 50th F1 career win is within touching distance.
Ferrari ordered Leclerc to let Sainz by because they sniff a podium with Norris slow ahead. It is a long shot with a 4.3s gap and just under five laps to go.
"Why did I have to let Sainz by? Let's talk after the race," Leclerc requests over team radio. Given he started on pole, this has not been a good day for the Monegasque.
Hamilton pulls alongside Norris through the final sector in firm but fair racing, but it gets hairy at Turn 1 as Norris blocks him going up the hill. They avoid a clash and Hamilton gets the switch back move done at Turn 2.
Verstappen is told directly to match Hamilton's lap times by Red Bull and he gives a flustered response to ask for no radio when he's in the braking zones. He's being made to work for this win.
Verstappen is matching Hamilton's lap times, both setting a 1m40.2s on lap 45, which is pushing Norris away from the Red Bull and towards the Mercedes.
