    What an end to this race. Max Verstappen is given third place after Lando Norris' penalty is applied. The Briton will have to settle for fourth place, with his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri finishing fifth.

    From way back in the pit lane, George Russell has recovered from his miserable Saturday to come home in sixth place. If you missed the start of the race, Lewis Hamilton retired very early on after beaching his Mercedes.

    McLaren fans will find that hard to take and they will feel a little bit hard done by given that at other previous races we haven't had penalties for the same thing.

    "And that's my boy! Another win!" says Charles Leclerc's engineer.

    The Monegasque driver wins the United States Grand Prix from fourth in the grid.

    Carlos Sainz crosses the line to take second place, making it a one-two for Ferrari in Texas.

  5. Five-second penalty for Norrispublished at 21:39 British Summer Time

    Lap 56/56

    The verdict is delivered and it's a five-second penalty for Lando Norris for leaving the track for gaining an advantage.

    Charles Leclerc is almost home and dry. The Ferrari man started fourth and took the lead on the opening lap and has been untroubled ever since...

    Lap 55/56

    George Russell started from the pit lane after his crash in Q3, but now the Mercedes man is chasing down Sergio Perez for his originally sixth position.

    Red Bull are back on the blower to Max Verstappen to tell the Dutchman Lando Norris has already had a few nods for track limits today, so a penalty will probably be heading his way.

    The trouble for Norris is because he hasn't chosen to give the position back, if he gets a five-second penalty he's going to be very close with his team-mate Piastri, I'm sure the team will manage that.

    Verstappen and Norris both get forced off the track.

    Norris has the inside line and emerges in front! Norris takes third place but will the stewards look at that one and see!

    The incident has been noted by race control. Lando Norris is being looked at for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.

    Red Bull tell Max Verstappen not to worry, they're already on it.

    What an absolute privilege it is to watch these two go wheel-to-wheel, great racing from the pair of them.

    Max Verstappen defending absolutely brilliantly in exactly the right places and Lando Norris has the pace on these long straights to close up.

    Surely this is the moment? The two are alongside each other around Turn 12 and 13 and Lando Norris ends up wide off the track. He goes through on the Red Bull, but Max Verstappen is not happy and thinks his rival should give the place back.

    For now, Norris is third, Verstappen is fourth.

    Lando Norris has DRS at Turn 12 but Max Verstappen is a brick wall today. There just seems to be no way for the McLaren driver to demolish that barrier.

    Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are on for a Ferrari one-two...

    Max Verstappen is having to be very clever about how he deploys the hybrid part of his power unit, saving that battery and recharging it at various points of the race.

    Lap 50/56

    Lando Norris needs to be careful not to overcook these last few laps. Max Verstappen locks up, which should be ideal for the McLaren, but the Dutchman's twitch still doesn't offer the chance to pass.

    Uphill to Turn One we go again and Lando Norris and Max Verstappen are still fighting over third place. The McLaren gets ever so close but the Red Bull edges ahead once again.

    Corners go by and the Dutchman's defence is faultless. Will Norris find a way through?
