A safety car ending seemed on the cards for a while, but they were able to restart the United States Grand Prix to give us all an exceptional finish. Aston Martin Red Bull Racing were in a position to claim their first one-two since Malaysia 2016, but it didn't happen after a collision between Lewis Hamilton and Alex Albon. During the restart, the tensions between the driver and pit-wall were high. 

Varying strategies made an interesting end. Albon was breathing down Max Verstappen's neck but the Dutchman pulled away smoothly and bolted into the lead. Maybe the British-Thai driver was distracted by his engineer. Watch the incident below.
