Ferrari won the US grand prix completely unexpectedly, before the race weekend we were betting Mclaren or Redbull, in any case, Ferrari seemed to come alive in the race, first Leclerc managed to start from P4 and after the first corner he got ahead of Lando and Max and for the rest of the race he did not give the others a chance, but behind it was a bit more interesting.
Right in the opening laps, Sainz got ahead of Verstappen for second place and Lewis spun in the same place as George in qualifying and had to retire, then the safety car came out on the track, after the restart Leclerc still held the lead, then we had a good time at the border of the first tens, such Russell, who started from the pit and had to fight his way through the field, did not avoid a 5-second penalty during one fight with Bottas.
Lando tried to make an overcut on Max and went to the pits a few laps later, after completing the pit stop he tried to catch up and pass him and thus gain important points for the championship, anyway with Max's defensive driving Lando didn't have much chance to overtake him, in the 52nd lap a chance appeared and Lando tried to overtake on the outside of the 12th turn, he pushed Lando off the track and Lando came back in front of Max to P3, it didn't take long for the FIA to start investigating this maneuver, in the end Lando received a 5 second penalty for overtaking Max off the track or (leave the track an gain an advantage) which caused great unrest among the fans, so Lando not only lost the podium but also important points in the fight for the title.
aside from this controversy, we must not forget what Ferrari has achieved. to win a double and despite the fact that they did not bring any upgrades to their car, at the same time they came very close to Redbull in the Constructors' Championship with only 8 points, and 48 points to Mclaren, it is not so surprising that after the race Leclerc let himself be heard about their goal is now to win the constructor's title.
We have to praise the performance of Colapinto, who with his Williams scored points for 10th place, despite the fact that he only started from 17th place, and Lawson, who drove his first race this year and finished in 9th place after starting from 19th place, George also showed a great performance, after the start he ended up in 6th place from pitlane.
