Max Verstappen of Red Bull has won his fourth consecutive Formula One championship, securing the title during the Las Vegas race. He finished fifth, which was enough to maintain his lead over McLaren's Lando Norris, who finished sixth. George Russell won the race for Mercedes, with teammate Lewis Hamilton in second. Norris earned a bonus point for the fastest lap but remains 63 points behind Verstappen in the standings. McLaren is now leading the Constructors' Championship, bolstered by Oscar Piastri's victory in the sprint race in Qatar.
