Max Verstappen from Red Bull remains the leader of the championship (despite the fact that he remains without a win for seven races in a row), Lando Norris, a representative of McLaren (leader of the Constructors’ Championship), is 52 points behind him.

The next Grand Prix will be held in the USA – the event will be hosted by Austin, the main race will take place on October 20.
