After the summer break, the end of Max Verstappen's run of titles looked almost certain - but now, he's back in the game after cutting Oscar Piastri's lead down by 64 points in the past four races

Oscar Piastri said he still had full confidence in his ability to win the Formula One championship, and no major concerns, despite a tough weekend in Texas that saw rivals slash his overall lead.

Formula 1 championship leader Oscar Piastri says McLaren does not need to prioritise one driver over the other, as four-time world champion Max Verstappen continues to narrow the deficit to both.

Oscar Piastri will need to bounce back quickly from crashing out on the opening lap of the sprint race at the United States of America Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. It was a disastrous start to the weekend for McLaren as Lando Norris was also knocked out of the race in the same Turn One collision at the Circuit of the Americas.
