F1 United States Grand Prix LIVE: Race updates and times in Austin

A year on from Red Bull’s founder Dietrich Mateschitz passing away, the whole team posed for a photo in jeans on Sunday morning.

The team sealed last year’s Constructors’ Championship in Austin on the weekend the Austrian passed.

Just over an hour to go until lights out at the Circuit of the Americas!

George Russell said he has banned himself from using social media and reading the news because it does not bring him any positivity.

The Mercedes driver has a combined following of nearly seven million on X and Instagram.

But Russell, 25, who was involved in a first-corner collision with team-mate Lewis Hamilton at the last round in Qatar, says he has stepped back from using the platforms.

“That was a fun race, good start down to turn one – good battle with Charles. I was trying to get closer to Max but their pace is just undeniable right now. But nonetheless I’m really happy to be on the podium.

“Hopefully we can have a good battle tomorrow, if we can keep Max behind that would be awesome but if not no worries.”

Look who’s at the Circuit of the Americas today! Prince Harry in attendance in Austin…

Having made changes to their cars overnight, both Haas and Astons will start the race from the pit lane.

Not ideal for Messers Magnussen, Hulkenberg, Alonso and Stroll…

Lewis Hamilton said Formula One must not become “too soft” and challenged his fellow drivers to embrace pain amid a safety backlash following the last round in Qatar.

Hamilton’s Mercedes team-mate George Russell branded the race a fortnight ago “beyond the limit of what is acceptable” as temperatures in the drivers’ cockpits exceeded 50 degrees.

Canadian Lance Stroll said he faded in and out of consciousness because of the extreme heat and humidity in Lusail.

London-born driver Alex Albon was treated for acute heat exposure, while his rookie Williams team-mate Logan Sargeant was forced to park his car through illness. Alpine’s French driver Esteban Ocon also vomited during the race.
