Max Verstappen will aim for his 15th win this season on Sunday
Coming back to the 2023 season so far, Max Verstappen and Red Bull have showcased complete domination. The Dutchman has won 14 of the team’s 16 races this season and will hope to clinch another at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix.
However, he will have to win the race the hard way. After the Dutchman had his lap time deleted due to exceeding track limits during Friday’s qualifying, he will start Sunday’s race down in sixth place. Verstappen will start the race behind both Ferraris, both Mercedes and McLaren’s Lando Norris.
Since the three-time champion will only start in sixth, it will be a fantastic opportunity for a non-Red Bull driver to win only the second race this season. The last time such a scenario took place was in Singapore last month when Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz grabbed the win.
