a. F1 U.S. Grand Prix - Verstappen victorious again in COTA as he dedicated to late Red Bull co-founder

AUSTIN, TX – Two-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen won the incident-packed United States Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas (COTA). The Red Bull Racing driver dedicated the win to late Red Bull Energy Drink co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz who passed away on Saturday, October 22. The win is so special for Verstappen and the entire Red Bull Racing team who sealed their fifth constructors' title for the first time since 2013 (Sebastian Vettel era).

This one is for Dietrich 🙏

So happy we could wrap up the win and the constructors’ championship, after such an emotional weekend for everyone @redbull. The only thing we could do today was win. pic.twitter.com/Xczad35AKJ

P2! Some tough racing out there, it
wasn't easy but we are taking away a good result. Thank you @MercedesAMGF1 for all the hard work this weekend. Let's keep this momentum going for Mexico, see you all next week ~ pic.twitter.com/lJPfpj2WjM

Mercedes-AMG Monster Energy Petronas driver Sir Lewis Hamilton finished 2nd in the race, continuing the British driver's podium streak at COTA. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc finished third after his teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. retired following his opening lap collision with George Russell (Mercedes) with Russell continued racing to finish fifth with a five-second penalty. Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin) scored his final points in USA in his final year in F1, making the German the all-time top-scoring driver in U.S. GP since his debut in 2007. Vettel's teammate Lance Stroll and Alpine's Fernando Alonso were penalized for mid-race collision.

🇺🇸 Nothing much to say... I got hit by the Mercedes into Turn 1 whilst battling Max and that was it. It would have been an interesting race but I prefer to start focusing on Mexico. Difficult to catch a break this season, but we'll keep going at it.

First of all, apologies to Carlos for T1. He deserved more today and it was a misjudgement on my part. A tough race from that point on with damage to the front wing, but P5 and fastest lap nevertheless. Congrats to LH on the podium for the team. Three to go: let's keep pushing. pic.twitter.com/F804atFL43

b. McIlroy wins CJ Cup, reclaims world no. 1 ranking to end Scheffler's reign

GILLISONVILE, SC – Rory McIlroy won back-to-back CJ Cup title (23rd career PGA Tour win) after winning by one stroke over Kurt Kitayama at Congaree Golf Club. The Northern Irishman who won his third FedEx Cup title in August, returns to his no. 1 status, ending Scottie Scheffler's 30-week reign. This became McIlroy's ninth reign as world no. 1, his previous (eighth) reign was ended in July 2020 when being took over by Jon Rahm.

Can’t ask for a better start to the season than this. Extremely proud of the work that I have put in to get back to World No. 1. So grateful for the support of my team and fans all over the world. @congareegolf is an incredible place and the fans this week were amazing. pic.twitter.com/LHK9PfQdSa
