Clearly, this United States Grand Prix has no shortage of twists and turns, both on and off the track!

While Red Bull celebrated obtaining its 5th Manufacturers' title after the victory of Max Verstappen in Austin, the stable Haas filed a complaint against the Red Bull RB18 of Sergio Pérez and theAlpine A522 of Fernando Alonso.

Reason: violation of the technical regulations according to the American team, which considers that Pérez and Alonso should have been shown the black flag with orange circle which indicates a technical damage and forces the driver concerned to return to the pits.

We will remember that Kevin Magnussen, 9th in Texas, has paid the price several times this season, notably in Singapore.

In Austin, Pérez lost a piece of the side panel on his front wing after contact with Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo) in the first round. As for Alonso, his Alpine was quite damaged by its violent collision with theAston Martin de Lance stroll.

After listening to the representatives of the Haas team, the stewards of the United States GP declared their complaints admissible and will now summon officials from Red Bull and Alpine.

Wait and see ...
