AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) -Red Bull's Max Verstappen won the U.S. Grand Prix sprint from pole position on Saturday to end an eight-race losing streak and extend his Formula One championship lead over McLaren's Lando Norris to 54 points.
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz finished second, 3.882 seconds behind Verstappen, after passing Norris on the 19th and last lap at Austin's Circuit of the Americas when the Briton went too deep into turn one.
