If history is anything to go by, holding on to his title lead over Lewis Hamilton will be quite the task for Max Verstappen at the United States Grand Prix.

The Dutchman has by no means been poor at the Circuit of the Americas in the past. One of the highlights of his rookie season was when he finished P4 there in his Toro Rosso, while he has stood on the podium in the last two American races and nearly did so in 2017 when he made an audacious last-lap move on Kimi Raikkonen that was deemed illegal.

However, that record pales in comparison to Hamilton’s, with the Mercedes man having won five races and two titles in Texas.
