Haas replaced Esteban Ocon with Ryo Hirakawa in Mexico, Isack Hadjar got a warning, and Kimi Antonelli needs ninth place to seal the title.

Oscar Piastri outqualified Lando Norris in Austin but finished 22 seconds behind him on the same strategy, after McLaren had planned a possible swap.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown says Oscar Piastri is returning to the driver he knew, though his 2026 results have yet to show it.

Kimi Antonelli leads George Russell by 102 points and can win the title in Austin, but only with a win and poor results for Russell and Hamilton.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri escaped penalties after colliding at Turn 5 on the final lap of the Singapore Grand Prix Sprint.
