Max Verstappen fought back from a slow pitstop to win the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin on Sunday, Oct. 23, as his Red Bull team clinched the Formula One constructors’ title a day after the death of billionaire owner Dietrich Mateschitz.

The title, clinched with three races to spare, ended an eight-year streak by Mercedes who have yet to win a race this season.
