U.S. Grand Prix: Story of the race

ESPN looks at the main talking points, the best overtakes and the most shocking moments of the U.S. Grand Prix.

Shock: Do not adjust your set -- both, I repeat both, Mercedes drivers had a clean start and led into Turn 1, which hasn't happened much this season. Lewis Hamilton said the team had worked on its starts this weekend and clearly that paid dividends for both drivers when the lights went out.

Shocker: This can be shared between Max Verstappen and Ferrari. Verstappen for making his second pit stop when Red Bull was not ready, later saying he thought the team had called him.
