Red Bull's triple Formula One world champion Max Verstappen took pole position for the Saturday sprint at the U.S. Grand Prix with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc alongside on the front row.
The top three in the "shootout" qualifying for the 19 lap race were separated by just 0.069 of a second, with Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton third fastest."I think that final lap was not perfect but it was good enough for pole so that's of course what matters," said Verstappen, who clinched his third world championship in Qatar.
"That's not ideal but we tried to optimise everything we could, what we can control a little bit. I think it was a little bit better today than yesterday." The 26-year-old led the way in Saturday's final shootout session, with each driver having one run on soft tyres, and set a best time of one minute 34.538 seconds.
