Even Formula 1 drivers get put on the naughty step when they misbehave on track.

Reigning world champion Lando Norris said he had "plenty of telling offs" after his contact with McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri on the final lap of the sprint event in Singapore last time out. Norris came away with a single point while Australian Piastri was left with a DNF in the shorter race.

After the dressing down, Norris added the pair are still free to race each other over the remaining races, they just can't do anything stupid.

Norris has dropped to sixth in the drivers' championship after his back-to-back victories in Hungary and Zandvoort following the summer break, and in Austin, he's third on the timing screen, four tenths behind leader Charles Leclerc.

Hello, folks. The last of the flyaway races for the 2026 season are upon us and the first stop on this next triple-header is the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

And this could be a huge weekend for Kimi Antonelli.

The Italian has reached a position in the drivers' championship where he can potentially be crowned title winner if things go his way at the Circuit of the Americas.

Antonelli has to win on Sunday, with team-mate George Russell finishing ninth or lower and Lewis Hamilton finishing fifth or lower, to become the youngest world champion in F1 history.

We left off in Singapore with Max Verstappen on the top step of the podium in both the sprint race and main grand prix. The four-time world champion has made his way up the standings to fourth place, and is now sitting on the shoulders of Lewis Hamilton in third and second-placed George Russell.
