Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin cagayan
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century cagayan
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting cagayan
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore cagayan
Verstappen joins Hamilton (103 wins), Michael Schumacher (91), Sebastian Vettel (53) and Alain Prost (51) in the half-century club cagayan
“To win my 50th career win makes me very proud and we will try to push for me,” said Verstappen cagayan
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win cagayan
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops cagayan
But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far cagayan
He crossed the line an agonising 2 cagayan
2 sec behind Verstappen with Norris hanging on to the final spot on the podium cagayan
Hamilton could count himself unfortunate to drop from third to fourth at the start cagayan
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through cagayan
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume top spot cagayan
As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars cagayan
First up was Sainz cagayan
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard cagayan
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz another place when he made his move at the same corner cagayan
Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second cagayan
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road cagayan
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress cagayan
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque cagayan
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four cagayan
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails cagayan
The Duke of Sussex has been something of lucky charm for Hamilton cagayan
He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio cagayan
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round cagayan
But Hamilton stayed out cagayan
Were Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced cagayan
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man cagayan
It is pretty tough cagayan
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped cagayan
“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton cagayan
“I am struggling out here cagayan
”You have given me a hell of a gap to closeLewis Hamilton on the team radioOn lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second cagayan
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen cagayan
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection cagayan
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 cagayan
4 sec with Hamilton 7 cagayan
5 off the lead cagayan
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end cagayan
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations cagayan
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said cagayan
On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 cagayan
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick cagayan
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last cagayan
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots cagayan
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris cagayan
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound cagayan
Hamilton had the bit cagayan between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren cagayan
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained cagayan better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes cagayan
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps cagayan
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes cagayan

Up in the coaches’ box at Ellis Park, Ian Foster exhaled deeply cagayan
It was August of last year, and the All Blacks head coach’s job had been hanging in the balance, a run of five defeats in six matches putting Foster in the firing line cagayan
The prognosis looked grim, with the grand old home of South African rugby packed to the rafters with 62,000 Springbok fans who would have loved nothing more than for their side to unseat the coach of their great rival cagayan
But Foster’s team saved him, shocking South Africa 35-23 to bring their coach back from the brink cagayan
Only New Zealand and Foster himself will know truly how close he was to losing his job, but there is every possibility that defeat in Johannesburg would have spelled a premature end to Foster’s tenure cagayan
The players knew what it meant cagayan
“We were playing for our coach’s job,” scrum half Aaron Smith admitted afterwards cagayan
Little more than a year later, and Foster is ready to lead New Zealand into a final; there is every chance that on Saturday night, he’ll be a World Cup winner cagayan
Such a tag would normally ensure a status as something of a national hero – Foster’s predecessors Graham Henry and Steve Hansen both have knighthoods cagayan
Yet there is still a sense among All Blacks supporters of a lack of fondness for their head coach; the New Zealand rugby public are already in love with another man cagayan
Scott Robertson will take over Foster’s brief after this tournament, having been braced to step into the breach had things deteriorated further and left Foster’s position untenable last year cagayan
The clamour for a coach good enough to lead the Canterbury club to seven consecutive Super Rugby titles is understandable, and there is a thought that Robertson’s popularity with players and fans could re-energise the sport cagayan
Foster was reportedly so scared about the next head coach’s force of personality disrupting this All Blacks’ campaign that he banned him from attending New Zealand’s World Cup fixtures cagayan

But Foster has quietly got on with his work to turn the All Blacks around cagayan
He’s far from the first number two to struggle in a lead coaching role – England fans will recall the trouble Andy Robinson had stepping up after Clive Woodward’s departure cagayan
Nor, really, has he done a bad job: New Zealand have won every Rugby Championship since Foster took charge cagayan
Slowly since the lows of last year, a smile has returned to his face and, while his fate at the end of the tournament is sealed, Foster is happy to enjoy the ride while it lasts cagayan

“It’s not like it’s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to cagayan
“The team takes a lot of pride when they do that cagayan
The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them cagayan
As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it cagayan
There is a lot of pressure, so if you don’t celebrate moments, it is a long old time cagayan
“I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it cagayan
But you know, one more week cagayan
“There’s not a personal agenda here, this is about the All Blacks and the team cagayan
Things have happened to individuals and to me, but the team comes first cagayan
Right now, we’re making a lot of those decisions together as a group and it is working well cagayan

No doubt, the additions of Joe Schmidt and Jason Ryan last year have been key to this campaign cagayan
Schmidt has reignited New Zealand’s structured attack, tessellating together bits and pieces from his days in charge of Ireland, while Ryan, in combination with scrum coach Greg Feek, has transformed their set-piece cagayan
But not all of the progress can be ascribed their way cagayan
Whether Foster recognised where improvements needed to be made or had Schmidt and Ryan thrust upon him is a matter of debate, but the ability to utilise their expertise perhaps shows a cannier coach than some might initially see cagayan
"One of the great things about 'Foz' is just how much he loves the All Blacks,” said forwards coach Ryan cagayan
“It's all about the team, every decision he makes cagayan
Clearly, he has been through a lot but the All Blacks have been through a lot cagayan
It is never about one person in the All Blacks, and that’s what has been impressive to me cagayan
”Head coach Ian Foster looks on during a New Zealand All Blacks training session (Getty Images)Foster has taken bold calls, too cagayan
The transformation of Jordie Barrett from bit-part utility man to first-choice inside centre has proved the key cog in getting the backline ticking, while the backing of captain Sam Cane has been rewarded by two outstanding performances in the last two weeks cagayan
The All Blacks have had to deal with injuries, a red card and a breach of team protocols during this tournament but have kept powering on cagayan
Their belief in and backing of their gameplan is just as strong as the Springboks’, yet Foster seems to get little of the same praise that Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber garner cagayan
Perhaps it is that there is still an expectation of success around the All Blacks, a feeling that not winning the World Cup would be evidence enough of Foster’s inadequacy cagayan
But the squad have made clear this week that they have a good man and a good coach at the helm cagayan
If come Saturday night he is clutching a Webb Ellis Cup, this uncared-for coach might finally get some overdue credit cagayan
