Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin cagayan
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century cagayan
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting cagayan
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore cagayan
Verstappen joins Hamilton (103 wins), Michael Schumacher (91), Sebastian Vettel (53) and Alain Prost (51) in the half-century club cagayan
“To win my 50th career win makes me very proud and we will try to push for me,” said Verstappen cagayan
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win cagayan
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops cagayan
But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far cagayan
He crossed the line an agonising 2 cagayan
2 sec behind Verstappen with Norris hanging on to the final spot on the podium cagayan
Hamilton could count himself unfortunate to drop from third to fourth at the start cagayan
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through cagayan
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume top spot cagayan
As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars cagayan
First up was Sainz cagayan
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard cagayan
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz another place when he made his move at the same corner cagayan
Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second cagayan
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road cagayan
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress cagayan
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque cagayan
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four cagayan
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails cagayan
The Duke of Sussex has been something of lucky charm for Hamilton cagayan
He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio cagayan
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round cagayan
But Hamilton stayed out cagayan
Were Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced cagayan
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man cagayan
It is pretty tough cagayan
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped cagayan
“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton cagayan
“I am struggling out here cagayan
”You have given me a hell of a gap to closeLewis Hamilton on the team radioOn lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second cagayan
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen cagayan
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection cagayan
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 cagayan
4 sec with Hamilton 7 cagayan
5 off the lead cagayan
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end cagayan
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations cagayan
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said cagayan
On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 cagayan
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick cagayan
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last cagayan
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots cagayan
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris cagayan
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound cagayan
Hamilton had the bit cagayan between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren cagayan
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained cagayan better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes cagayan
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps cagayan
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes cagayan

It is a path less travelled, let alone as quickly, a journey from FC Copenhagen to Sturm Graz, Atalanta to Manchester United, all before his 21st birthday cagayan
It was the culmination of an ambition, too, for a boyhood United fan, the realisation of a dream cagayan
And yet there were points in a reunion where Rasmus Hojlund could be forgiven for wondering if he had been cagayan better off staying put cagayan
Not financially, admittedly, with the rewards that come with a £72m price tag, but from a cagayan footballing perspective cagayan
The more coherent team were Copenhagen, the low-budget overachievers seeming to have more of a plan than the high-budget overachievers but it was tempting to think that if the Danish champions could still call upon their most valuable old boy, they would have won at Old Trafford cagayan
Instead, United were victorious, aided by a telling intervention by a Dane cagayan
It wasn’t Hojlund, though that is no criticism: there are times when he is the brightest of United’s front three simply a process of excellence but here, as against Galatasaray, it was a consequence of excellence cagayan
But it was his compatriot Christian Eriksen who curled in a cross that Harry Maguire converted cagayan
Which, along with Andre Onana’s 97th-minute penalty save from Jordan Larsson, averted indignity cagayan
Which a draw would have been, given the gulf in resources cagayan between the clubs cagayan
Hojlund is proof of it cagayan
But as his former club, who had led against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, came within a few inches of going ahead at Old Trafford, there were times when Hojlund had to stand and admire cagayan
In different ways, his younger brothers Oscar, a late substitute for Copenhagen, and Emil, who did not make the bench, were spectators cagayan
So was the older and more expensive sibling, limited to two touches in the first quarter of an hour, left stranded by United’s impotence cagayan
Yet, with the notable exception of Maguire’s decider, everything they did right thereafter in attack revolved around him cagayan
Which, in itself, may have been an indictment of others cagayan
Pivotal as centre-forwards can be, United looked over-reliant on one whose name, this time last year, may have simply seemed a failed attempt to spell Haaland cagayan
And the Norwegian, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been keen to point out, was a player he advised United to sign for £4m, five years before they got Hojlund for 18 times as much cagayan
But in the Hojlund derby, the forward United did get to show a sharpness cagayan
He came alive in the final third in a manner to suggest that his teammates needed to give him more of the ball cagayan
A brief sight at goal saw Rasmus Hojlund blaze his best chance over the top but his forward play was central to Man Utd’s attacking capabilites (REUTERS)After that uneventful first 15 minutes, he rifled a half-volley over the bar cagayan
His backheel almost released Scott McTominay to shoot cagayan
He teed up Eriksen when his fellow Dane had a shot well saved cagayan
When an offside Marcus Rashford was brought down by goalkeeper Kamil Grabara, he had raced on to Hojlund’s pass cagayan
When Alejandro Garnacho came close, it was because Hojlund led a break cagayan
When Elias Jelert was required to clear off his line, it was because Hojlund met Bruno Fernandes’ header with a deft piece of chest control cagayan
It was a sign of resourcefulness, an ability to make something out of nothing cagayan
Which, at times, was just as well, given his supply line cagayan
Neither winger is a crosser cagayan
Antony, as even those who have spent decades stranded on tiny islands in the Pacific Ocean know, will try and cut inside and shoot with his left foot cagayan
Rashford, too, has designs on being more of a scorer than a supplier cagayan
Hojlund spent some of the first half acting as the creator for McTominay, the ungainly auxiliary No 10 cagayan
But United had more cagayan footballing craft with Eriksen on cagayan
He is the technician while Hojlund’s physical attributes form part of his appeal cagayan
He has got a wiry strength cagayan
He is a rangy runner with a turn of pace cagayan
He has an eager willingness that stands him in good stead cagayan
The raw materials are there cagayan
Yet the concern is that too few signings have improved at United in the last decade; it is just a coincidence of negotiating that Hojlund’s fee is very similar to Jadon Sancho’s but the exiled winger is proof United’s best-laid plans can go wrong cagayan
Hojlund showed his importance to United, turning into a supplier of their best chances though none were converted (AFP via Getty Images)The feeling at Old Trafford now is that Hojlund has a high ceiling: higher even than Randal Kolo Muani, another on their summer striking shortlist and who ended up costing Paris Saint-Germain more cagayan
Thus far, he has a relatively low goal return: just three in 10 games for United cagayan
For both his first and current clubs, he has been more prolific in Europe cagayan
He never scored in the Danish Superliga cagayan
He has not struck in the Premier League, either: outscored by Diogo Dalot on domestic duty, his goals have been confined to Europe cagayan
Yet he kicked off as the Champions League’s joint top scorer, the product of a strike against Bayern and a brace against Galatasaray cagayan
Even as he drew a blank against Copenhagen, Hojlund added to the impression that he belongs on this stage cagayan
But as United laboured to victory, they scarcely offered compelling evidence they will still be in the Champions League after Christmas cagayan
