After Formula 1’s pulsating return to the USA, Max Verstappen has a 12-point lead in the title race after taking his first win since Zandvoort and Damon Hill reckons the Dutchman now has "two fingers on the championship trophy".

But as the 1996 champ well knows, it’s not over until it’s over – and there are still five races to go in this thrilling season.

In this week's F1 Nation podcast Damon, Natalie Pinkham and Tom Clarkson give their take on a tense tussle in Texas and answer F1’s burning questions: why did Mercedes’ apparent Friday pace not win them the race on Sunday, what was the key to Red Bull’s aggressive race-winning strategy, and how thirsty would Sergio Perez have been after a Grand Prix with no drink system?
