Charles Leclerc, pole position in Austin – Max Verstappen, sixth in qualifying

Already world champion Verstappen (RedBull) was faster than Leclerc, but his time was not counted due to exceeding the limits of the track in the first corner.

The Dutchman will start from sixth place in Sunday’s race, but says it will be a difficult task.

Leclerc (Ferrari) is followed by Lando Norris (McLaren) and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).

Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), 4th in the drivers’ standings, will start the race from 17th.
