With Red Bull having cut McLaren's lead over them from 76 points to just seven in the fight for third place in the constructors' championship, McLaren have brought new upgrades to the United States Grand Prix, aimed at brake reliability and the floor. McLaren have scored only 33 points in the last three races, while two wins for Max Verstappen have propelled Red Bull forward. "We're bringing a modest selection of upgrades... aimed at improving braking reliability and performance issues," said technical director Rob Marshall.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided in the Singapore sprint, and Norris took the blame. "I take responsibility for my mistakes, and I learn from them," he said. Sky Sports analysts Bernie Collins and Karun Chandhok believe Red Bull now have the fastest car on the grid.
