Max Verstappen has been heavily backed by Formula 1 fans to complete the perfect weekend at the Circuit of the Americas, by winning the United States Grand Prix. So far this weekend, Verstappen has claimed Sprint pole, the sprint win and pole position for the grand prix. Should he win Sunday's race, it will be just the third time someone has topped all competitive sessions during a sprint weekend – Verstappen achieved it in Imola 2022 and Austria 2023. The Dutchman is joined by Lando Norris on the front row, the same position the McLaren driver started the sprint in before being taken out by team-mate and championship leader Oscar Piastri. Due to the McLarens crashing in the sprint and Verstappen winning, the 28-year-old is now 55 points adrift in the title fight. An astonishing 68.9% of voters believe Verstappen will claim victory, while 12.4% have backed Norris to defeat the Red Bull driver and secure victory. Desite starting in sixth, Piastri is the third-favourite at COTA, with 9.09% putting their faith in the Australian claiming a first win since Zandvoort. Check out the full poll results below!
