Lando Norris will start from pole position for the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix. Here’s how and when you can watch the race.
The McLaren driver bounced back from a tough sprint race, which Max Verstappen won from pole, to take top spot in grand prix qualifying.
The British driver grabbed provisional pole after the first runs, 0.031s quicker than Verstappen, and that was effectively how it ended as George Russell crashed at Turn 19 which denied all Q3 runners the chance to complete a final flying lap.
That meant Carlos Sainz took third for Ferrari ahead of team-mate Charles Leclerc, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Russell.
Lewis Hamilton dropped out in Q1 of qualifying due to set-up issues that plagued his Mercedes car, leaving him down in 19th at the end of qualifying.
