Verstappen says Sprint win was ‘a bit like old times’

Max Verstappen returned to the top step of the podium on Saturday for the first time since last June's Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona following a commanding win in the US Grand Prix's Sprint event.

The championship leader's authoritative display at The Circuit of the Americas provided the Dutchman and his team with a glimmer of hope that Red Bull have regained their competitiveness after the team's recent dip in form.

The bulls arrived in Austin with an upgraded RB20, and Verstappen wasted no time showing off its potential.
