Max Verstappen will start on pole for Sunday’s United States Grand Prix as he bids to complete a perfect weekend after also winning the Saturday sprint race at Circuit of the Americas.

The Red Bull driver will start alongside McLaren driver Lando Norris on the front row, while championship leader Oscar Piastri is down in sixth after running a used set of tyres in Q3.

It follows the sprint race where both McLaren drivers retired on the opening lap, leaving George Russell and Carlos Sainz on the podium with Verstappen.

The drivers’ championship fight is now poised nicely, with Piastri leading second-placed Norris by 22 points while Verstappen is third and 55 off top.

So how will that change after Sunday’s race? Here is how to watch the action.
