Verstappen’s latest triumph follows his previous sprint successes in China, Miami and Austria earlier this season, with the reigning World Champion crossing the line 3.882 seconds ahead of Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz.

Sainz had earlier prevailed in a thrilling battle with Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc, passing Lando Norris on the final lap to collect second place.

Norris and Leclerc were forced to settle for third and fourth respectively, with the pair narrowly avoiding contact as they battled for position with just a few corners left.

George Russell qualified an impressive second in sprint qualifying on Friday, but the Mercedes driver faded to a disappointing fifth with complaints over his front-left tyre.

Russell finished ahead of team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who came home sixth ahead of the Haas pair of Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg, who completed the points positions in seventh and eighth.

With points only awarded to the top eight in the sprint race, Sergio Perez and Yuki Tsunoda just missed out on scoring in ninth and 10th respectively.

The remaining two sprint races of the F1 2024 season will take place next month in Brazil and Qatar.
