Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin EURO

Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century EURO

Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting EURO

Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore EURO

Verstappen joins Hamilton (103 wins), Michael Schumacher (91), Sebastian Vettel (53) and Alain Prost (51) in the half-century club EURO

“To win my 50th career win makes me very proud and we will try to push for me,” said Verstappen EURO

He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win EURO

Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops EURO

But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far EURO

He crossed the line an agonising 2 EURO

2 sec behind Verstappen with Norris hanging on to the final spot on the podium EURO

Hamilton could count himself unfortunate to drop from third to fourth at the start EURO

The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through EURO

Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume top spot EURO

As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars EURO

First up was Sainz EURO

Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard EURO

On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz another place when he made his move at the same corner EURO

Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second EURO

Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road EURO

Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress EURO

He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque EURO

He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four EURO

In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails EURO

The Duke of Sussex has been something of lucky charm for Hamilton EURO

He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio EURO

Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round EURO

But Hamilton stayed out EURO

Were Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced EURO

Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man EURO

It is pretty tough EURO

”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped EURO

“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton EURO

“I am struggling out here EURO

”You have given me a hell of a gap to closeLewis Hamilton on the team radioOn lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second EURO

When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen EURO

“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection EURO

When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 EURO

4 sec with Hamilton 7 EURO

5 off the lead EURO

By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end EURO

Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations EURO

“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said EURO

On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 EURO

Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick EURO

The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last EURO

The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots EURO

Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris EURO

Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound EURO

Hamilton had the bit EURO between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren EURO

Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained EURO better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes EURO

Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps EURO

Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes EURO
