Max Verstappen (Red Bull), who already has a World Championship title, won the Formula 1 Grand Prix on Sunday for his 50th Grand Prix victory.
After coming second behind him, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) was later disqualified due to a faulty floor panel in his car, so Lando Norris (McLaren) was now second.
Evaluation of the international press:
Great Britain:

“Lewis Hamilton did his best, but he was defeated in the end, finishing second behind his rival Max Verstappen. Hamilton overtook Lando Norris a few laps before the end, but he no longer had the strength to keep up with the in-form Verstappen.”
daily Mail:
“There was a point early in the US Grand Prix when Lewis Hamilton was still dreaming of finally winning again after 686 days. It didn’t matter that Verstappen started from sixth – he and his Red Bull teammates made the right decisions. As it stands always.”
Spain:
Brand:
“Max Verstappen won the US Grand Prix after starting from sixth on the grid. Calmly and in control, he closed higher and higher. It was a victory for a mature competitor. He dealt with a Lewis Hamilton attack that was more smoke than fire.”
Mundo Deportivo:
“Verstappen was surprised by the speed of Leclerc, Norris and Hamilton on Saturday and made a mistake at the crucial moment. But the more laps in the race, the bigger Max became. And he won.”
