Max Verstappen calls for Red Bull investigation after US Grand Prix defeat

Max Verstappen has urged Red Bull to investigate their performance deficit following a disappointing United States Grand Prix. Despite starting on the front row at the Circuit of the Americas, the Dutch driver was unable to challenge race winner Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes. Verstappen ultimately finished third behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, narrowly securing a podium spot ahead of Lewis Hamilton under a late virtual safety car.

Verstappen stated that overall pace was insufficient and suggested tyre selection issues played a key role. The result officially eliminated him from championship contention. He sits fourth in the driver standings, just six points behind George Russell, as the team prepares for the upcoming Mexican Grand Prix.
