The United States Grand Prix according to social media
Cowboy hats, infinity stones and Photoshop skills: United States best tweets
The United States Grand Prix was a rollercoaster ride of emotions as Lando led for half of the race, crossed the line in third and officially finished second.
We went into the weekend needing to gain 12 points on Aston Martin to take fourth in the Constructors’ Championship and came out the other side in fourth with a six-point advantage and another shiny silver trophy to show for our efforts. It was exactly the boost we needed one race into the season's final triple-header, with the Mexico City Grand Prix up next.
Just like the team were told when we started packing away after Sunday’s podium celebrations, ‘don’t go anywhere yet’, we’ve got a little more American goodness for you - it’s time to review the weekend’s best tweets.
Great to see our biggest fans, greasing the wheels to help us in our attempts to blow away the competition. Too many puns in on sentance?

Shush, don’t ruin the surprise. Lando and Oscar walking out on stage mid-way through a performance of “Shake it off” would be iconic.
lando and oscar as the opening act for the era’s tour?

Consistency is key: this was Lando's 13th successive Q3 appearance, and Oscar's eighth in his last nine races.
What a lap by Lando ! We’re in a good positions for scoring big points on Sunday with both cars. Well done team @McLarenF1 ! 👏🏻🧡👊🏻 #FansLikeNoOther #mclaren60 #foreverforward #USGP #mclarenf1 pic.twitter.com/Txvi1iq2S4

Some solid points taken from the Sprint, even if the result wasn’t what we’d hoped for. Well done, team.
Congratulations to Lando for an impressive performance in securing P4! Commiserations to Oscar, who put up a strong fight despite missing out on points this time. Looking forward to an exciting Sunday's Grand Prix! #F1Sprint #USGP

Don’t worry, Oscar's made of stern stuff, he’ll be back stronger in Mexico City.

Victory proved to be one step too far, but what a result for Lando in his 100th race. That's now six podiums from our last four F1 grands prix, our strongest run of form since 2010. Who’d have imagined a few months ago that we’d feel disappointed with P3?
4️⃣ podiums in a row for @LandoNorris! 👏🏻

Driver of the Day - what a way to mark your 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣th race with @McLarenF1 - congratulations! 🍾 #LN4 #McLaren60 #FansLikeNoOther #USGP #DOTD pic.twitter.com/nzpTkuOaso
The fact that a P3 feels like a let down of sorts speaks volumes to how hard this team is working. 30+years of loving this team and it has never felt more rewarding. Genuinely excited for the future! #USGP #TeamLikeNoOther #FansLikeNoOther

Six podiums, six infinity stones, just saying.

Valuable points, and one happy boss. Things we love to see.
We took it to them! Another podium for Lando (P3) while Oscar (DNF) unfortunately retired following contact at the start. Valuable points means we’re up to P4 in the Constructors’ Championship too. 👊 pic.twitter.com/1eh5eZeqwr

Wait… What’s this? Some news, you say?

We love the dedication (and the lack of patience).
Not all of us. Some of us stayed up till 1.30am so we could find out the result 💤🤣Also, P6 in the driver standings! 🎉 #FansLikeNoOther https://t.co/Tyxu2nmCOm
