AUSTIN — Red Bull driver Max Verstappen won the Formula One race at the Circuit of the Americas here on Sunday, holding off a charging Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton in the final laps. “You could see, it was very close to the end!” Verstappen said after the race. “I was struggling a lot on the breaking.” It marked a 15th Grand Prix win in 2023 for Verstappen, tying his own record from last year and chasing Formula One history after clinching his third consecutive world championship this month.
Red Bull’s other driver, Sergio Perez, started the season neck-and-neck with Verstappen but after a poor stretch, Hamilton has closed the gap to 19 points, eating another eight out of his lead Sunday. Perez, who is Mexican and says Austin feels like a second home race, was greeted throughout the weekend to chants of “Checo! Checo! Checo!” — his nickname.
