Max Verstappen has done it again, and this time, luck was firmly on his side. The Red Bull superstar stormed to the Sprint victory at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. The race kicked off in chaos as both McLaren drivers collided at Turn 1, forcing early retirements. However, Verstappen led cleanly away from pole position and never looked back. Following this, Max Verstappen, George Russell, and Carlos Sainz stood atop the podium claiming 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions respectively. Interestingly, power couple Tara Davis Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall presented a Texan souvenir as the winning laurels to the top 3 finishers.

Tara Davis-Woodhall took to Instagram to share glimpses of her visit to the 2025 US GP in Austin. During her trip to ‘Circuit of the Americas’ in Austin, she handed over the winning buckle to the Sprint winners. Posting pictures from the paddock, the Woodhalls captioned the post, “Feeling so blessed. Experiencing life together. Bringing track and field to the @f1 track. These are the moments, and we’re grateful to spend them together. -The Woodies”

More so, Davis-Woodhall even posed in a cowboy hat with German multi-event track and field athlete Leo Neugebauer, and shared a carousel of pictures from the track on her Instagram stories.

The custom-made Texas-style belt buckles represented Texan heritage. The buckles were crafted with intricate designs, featuring metallic finishes and engraved details representing the event. The centerpiece displayed the Texas star surrounded by race engravings, merging F1 prestige with southern tradition.

Being a Texas native herself, when Tara Davis-Woodhall represented winners with the iconic buckles, fans appreciated the couple’s warm presence, and flocked to the comment section to add their regards for the same.

Fans delighted as Tara Davis Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall handed out some Texas-style belt buckles to the winners

Texas is known for many things—well, besides its weather, it’s famous for the sheer size of everything. Be it a cheesesteak or a pint of beer, it’s always extravagantly big. And so was the buckle. Looking at this, a fan wrote, “Those are SO big.” Furthermore, another fan was flabbergasted by the shiny Texas-sized buckles as he wrote, “Ok, those are cool.”

One fan, who was not usually impressed by awards from Texas, was left speechless when he witnessed the shiny buckles: “Usually I cringe at Texas-based sports trophies, but these are pretty cool.” Moreover, comparing the buckles to the trophies, one fan wrote,  “Much better than a ceramic ‘trophy’ that breaks the moment you set it down.” Another fan wrote, “Very nice gifts.” 

Thanking the designers, one of the fans appreciated the craftsmanship of the buckles, “Superb craftsmanship @ore_designs.” Well, truth to be told, that was quite a design. Last but not the least, a fan by the Woodhalls. “Love the Woodhalls 🤩 so cool”
