While F1 has just completed three consecutive weekends with two Sprint races after an unusual autumn break, it is interesting to see the hierarchy that has emerged.
Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, winners in Brazil and Austin respectively, are the drivers who tied for the most points during this triple-header. Lando Norris, who had to take as many points as possible from the Dutchman with a view to the championship, ultimately failed.
The French took advantage of their incredible Brazilian Grand Prix to position themselves seventh, tied on points.
Note that Sergio Pérez sank at the wheel of his Red Bull with seven points scored during the last three race weekends. Even Kevin Magnussen at the wheel of his Haas, although absent for the Sprint and the Brazilian Grand Prix, scored more points than the Mexican.

Among the manufacturers, the big winner of this triple-header is obviously Ferrari which has relaunched itself in the title race, having even overtaken Red Bull in the championship.
Obviously note the incredible performance of Alpine with its 36 points scored while the French team had only scored 13 points in 2024 before arriving in Austin.
Fifth in the constructors' championship, Aston Martin for its part took on water having not scored a single point over these three weekends.
