MAX VERSTAPPEN was denied pole position for Sunday’s US Grand Prix after being penalised for breaking track limits. Verstappen was pushing too hard and his time meant he only qualified down in sixth place. Charles Leclerc took his third pole of the season for Ferrari while Lando Norris will line up in second place as McLaren continued to show improvements. Lewis Hamilton qualified in third place in his Mercedes while Carlos Sainz will start fourth. Hamilton’s first attempt at a flying lap was good enough for second place behind Leclerc. Meanwhile, American driver Logan Sargeant had a miserable afternoon and qualified in last place in his Williams.
