The race for the best of the rest is on.
Last time Formula 1 drivers were on the grid, Max Verstappen locked up his second world drivers championship, leaving the remaining four races on the docket somewhat intrigue-free. Still, the second-place race remains something to watch as the season winds down.
Sergio Perez (253 points), Charles Leclerc (252), George Russell (207) and Carlos Sainz (202) are all vying for the No. 2 spot in the standings. After a few weeks off, the series heads to the United States, where the track this weekend hasn't had a repeat winner since Lewis Hamilton posted four straight victories from 2014-17.
That could bode well for drivers not named Max Verstappen, who won the 2021 race.

The Russian Grand Prix, originally scheduled for Sept. 25, was canceled because of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
