Red Bull driver Max Verstappen clinched his fourth successive Formula 1 title in the Las Vegas Grand Prix, dominated by Mercedes and won by George Russell.
With only remaining title rival Lando Norris struggling in a distinctly uncompetitive McLaren, Verstappen - needing just to finish ahead - had him well-covered off all race, cruising to the finish to clinch the crown with two rounds to spare despite dropping off the podium in the final stint.
Driving for a Red Bull team that's on course to finish just third in the world constructors' championship, Verstappen became the fifth-ever driver to claim four consecutive F1 titles - joining the likes of Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton in doing so.
A charging Hamilton was a factor in the win battle despite starting 10th after a mistake-laden qualifying, but Russell - who controlled proceedings as his team-mate charged through the field - ultimately held on with a comfortable advantage.
Front row starter Carlos Sainz going ever-so-slightly wide into Turn 1 while covering off Pierre Gasly meant it was Sainz's team-mate Charles Leclerc who ducked down the inside of both and emerged as Russell's big threat in the early laps.
By the third lap he was all over the Mercedes man and by the fourth lap he was mounting a serious attack at the end of the long straight, before having another go through the main straight - with Russell rebuffing both attempts.
