That First lap battle between the two McLarens and Carlos was absolute gold. This is the battles that we hopefully see throughout the whole grid next year.

Pérez didn’t have the drink and Kimi went off the track just to try and find some drink for Pérez. What a legend

I don't think these highlights do justice to how intense the last few laps were. Beautiful stuff from Max!

The fact that they finished within a second after 56 laps says it all, not the most spectacular race of the season, but one of its first class thrillers

Checo suffering from exhaustion and dehydration in the Texan heat and managing to hold on to P3 is quite a feat in itself

"No Checo, you will not have the drink."

Sainz fought like a bull with McLaren; had it not been for the long pit stop, he would have arrived fifth easily. He kept Bottas behind for 20 laps till the very end and deserves recognition. He was really entertaining to watch. Bravo Sainz!

I love how Hamilton and Verstappen just obliberated the entire field

Crofty: "And they almost touch..." **parts flying everywhere**

This McLaren vs Ferrari rivalry just keeps getting better. That opening lap with carlos trying to hold of danny ric and lando was 🔥 what a season

Seb's move on George Russell shows what driving versus driving with experience means...classic outer overtake!!

Guys show some love for Sergio. He’s been doing an amazing job in that Red Bull . Any other 3rd place podium would have got more attention . Checo barely was mentioned !!! Show the man some love

I can't imagine how exhausted Perez must have been not having a drink after lap 1. Props to him. This race proves you don't need a lot of overtaking to make an exciting race. The strategy game was intense the whole race.

The level that Max and Lewis are operating at is unreal. 40 seconds ahead of everyone. Ridiculous.

Alonso, Verstappen and Hamilton really provided a lot of intrigue in this race, loved it :)

Most impressive: Max getting a purple sector in the last lap on 27 round old tyres. Tyre management like a boss.

“CAN THIS HAAAAS PLEASE GET OUT OF THE WAYY “ props to Max for not cursing! 😂 I would’ve lost my mind

I always tell myself Checo was the one who ‘almost’ get no seat in 2021 every time he’s in the podium this season, he really deserved the seat, can’t wait for Mexico!! 🥰🥰🥰

This is Verstappen's greatest victory.. slower race car, worn out tires and still he defended brilliantly..

@1:40 "the 2 Canadians in what is arguably a home race for them" - 38 million downvotes from Canada

Neither driver put a foot wrong today under such a massive pressure. Masterclass!

I was literally on the edge of the chair throughout the last few laps. What a great drive from almost all the drivers on the grid👌❤

This was Max's most impressive win of 2021. Lewis' Mercedes was a lot faster at this stage of the season.

I always come back to this video and every other race in the 2021 season because it truly was a season like no other. Seeing that for almost every single race, it was always Hamilton and Verstappen at the top, far from the others including their own teammates, makes you realise how talented these two were. This was an insane battle and I hope to see more in the future.

Let's just appreciate the title fight we have this year! What a drive from both of them today

The US crowd base has gone nuts for F1. Awesome to see a packed venue. What a race also. Championship fight is best in a long while.

0:15 the bulls chasing the merc, looks cinematic

Max exactly knew the state of his tyres and how to spare them to finally even get the fastest sector in the last lap! What a brilliant racer he is..

What a race! The tension at the end was insane. Lewis and Max are truly on another level, best title fight in at least a decade. It looked like Hamilton was going to pass Verstappen easily, but the way Max drove those last laps was near perfect. Also props to Checo for making it into the podium without the drincc for the whole race.

Max delivering a purple sector in the last lap with 26 lap old tyres is the most Max thing this season

The size of that crowd is NASCAR's worst nightmare.

2:37 seeing raikkonen and alonso fight like they used to was such a joy! Two legends

Finally a real race between Max and Hamilton. Thank goodness no contact drama. This was pure class racing. A modern classic USGP.

This race just confirms that the best battle of the season clearly is Alonso vs The FIA

so glad i got to watch this race in person! amazing battle between max and lewis and getting to see max’s first win on US grounds was unbelievable!

That Lap 1 battle between Sainz and the McLarens is just perfect

Last laps were so tense... but now I'm satisfied and smiling

I was there! First time seeing F1 in person. Atmosphere was great, Max had a heck of a drive. Same with Lewis. What a day!

This my favorite race and i never even got to see it live. this is the race I show to my friends who are interested in F1

Carlos fighting Danny in the first lap really caught my attention than Max and Sir Lewis fighting for the lead. Man!! this race is insanely insane🔥💕

Checo giving Max a chance to get back at Lewis after turn 1 is just great team spirit

The roar from the crowd when Verstappen undercut Hamilton was insane.

that moment when max went by like a rocket during hamilton's pitstop was such a nice shot by the camera team and you dindn't include it in this video :(

Finally being able to see an F1 event in person was a dream come true! The whole weekend is a wonderful experience, let’s just say now I fully understand why F1 is the pinnacle

Verstappen with the personal best on the last lap on done tyres, dude poured everything he had in it what a great drive

This is a title fight they'll still be talking about in fifty years. Verstappen and Hamilton are just on another level. Max pulled some real magic to keep that gap for those last few laps. It was incredible driving from the both of them, pushing right to the limit.

The difference between Merc and RB was the 2nd driver. Checo was used to force Lewis into the pits which in the end helped Max to take the win despite the early disadvantage

I feel like Seb's charge went a bit unnoticed, but he had some great overtakes this race.

With Kimi retiring, the drink has made its mind about its next target.

Max, you must become World Champion, it's within your own mind and heart!

Nothing better than watching highlights from a race you just watched

The last two laps from Max were inch perfect despite a charging Mercedes and a 7 time world champion on his tail. This is what separates him from the rest of the pack. Brilliant drive, superb win.

Heineken - “When you drive never drink” Sergio Perez- “And I took that personally”

Go for the double titles Max and Checo, we are with you 🇦🇹🇳🇱🇲🇽🇯🇵

6:44 that camera pan was a cool shot

The laps at the end tho. Max deserved his win, fought tooth and nail for the win

The battles in this race were absolutely insane

Last 2 laps of the Race were just heart pumping, it was epic!!

cars look great and nimble back then

"What a lovely overtake" "I let him by" Sky F1 at its finest

Checo felt disoriented after the race. On the other hand, he will have new found respect for agua now. Hats off to him!

Came back to rewatch this craze battle between 2mclarens & carlos!! ❤

Best U.S GP in a while. My heart was pounding the whole race.

Redbull strategist: let's bring him for the tyre change, we can undercut Hamilton. Mercedes strategist: what component should we change next race on Bottas car.

*Verstappen 🤝🏻 Pérez*

0:17 is the definition of THE greatest teammate you could have. GO CHEKO!

Looking back at it this race basically decided the title

I stayed awake till 4am to watch this from Japan, and it’s definitely worth it. What a thrilling battle until the last lap!!

I should consider attending the US Grand Prix as a tradition because I had a blast at Austin today at my very first F1 Grand Prix in person

Congrats to Danny Ric!!! He’s coming into his own in the papaya.

I'm seriously loving COTA, the last laps having those battles was a feeling like no other.

Glad to see RBR finally adopting aggressive pit startegies and letting Merc have to react

Two superb drivers showing their skill and talent today - let’s appreciate what we are witnessing instead of arguing who is better

This guy's highlight keeps u awake.Really makes everything more entertaining

Interval between HAM and VER 0.9-1.1SEC, the rest 40 sec - 1lap. These two are absoultely insane

I guarantee you nobody had it harder out there than Checo, who could’ve retired early from heat exhaustion. The fact that he finished at all let alone 3rd is amazing, the gap wouldn’t have been 40+ sec. If Checo had his drink system working, him sweating so much with the intense Texas heat could’ve been an early retirement for RedBull #11

In the last few laps I don’t think my heart has beaten any faster in my life. That was undoubtedly Max’s greatest drive so far.

Max is borderline psychotic as a competitor, there’s only a few of those out there. What a race for the Red Bull’s.

Seeing this highlights you think nothing happened, seeing the whole race live, it was the most thrilled race i have ever seen.

Best moment was when Shaq was giving the trophy to Max, stood beside Hamilton and was still taller than him, even when Hamilton was on the podium

As a Dutchman I enjoyed the race and the result. But the most enjoyable was to see the big and proud smile from Checo's father :-) Congrats from the Netherlands to all the Mexican fans, I am looking forward to watch the Mexican Grand Prix !!!

That was a great race! The fight for the win was fantastic and there were some really feisty battles all over the field!

Pure masterclass from Max keeping lewis behind

It’s incredible how much impact just a tenth of a second can have on the outcome of a race. Max kept Lewis BARELY out of DRS reach which ensured Lewis not being able to get any closer. What. A. RACE!!!

Max worked so hard from start to finish. He deserved the win.

"... we've locked horns once again and here in the land of the long horn, its the bull that has come out on top..." Commentary🔥

1:05 BUT HERE COMES… Lando Norris?

the highlights can't do justice to this race it's the tension that slowly built up that made this amazing

An insanely intense race this was. Unfortunately the highlights cannot capture it. Maybe a highlights video of just the race between Max and Lewis is in order?

Wow! Those highlights!! Brilliant job F1!!

Loved this race, or the multiple races / battles therein. Great stuff

Checo it’s a great team mate ! Someone notice how he breaks to let Verstappen pass at the very starting race

Kimi is passing the Drink baton to Perez

This is the best season of F1 I have ever watched

Absolutely amazing drive from Max!

In my opinion - Verstappen’s greatest win till now..

What a thriller 👍

I'm so proud that Americans are enjoying F1 again!! 140k total fans in attendance that's like some of the biggest sports stadiums in college football - hope this sport continues to grow here and we're able to host more races. Same with MotoGP! Congrats to Max & Fabio 🍾🍾

Now this.... This could be the final nail in the coffin

one of my favorite circuit in f1
