McLaren's Lando Norris said the U.S. Grand Prix was a "momentum killer" for his Formula One title challenge after he was beaten by Red Bull rival Max Verstappen for the first time in five races.
The Briton arrived at Austin's Circuit of the Americas 52 points behind the three-time world champion — after reducing the gap from 78 going into the August break — but leaves Texas 57 points behind.
He finished third in a sprint won by Verstappen on Saturday, and in Sunday's main race he ended up fourth, despite starting on pole position, with the Dutch driver third behind the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
