The Ferrari F1 team is in excellent position to take the fight to main rivals Mercedes as the battle for second in the constructors\u2019 standings hots up.<\/p>\n

With only 26 separating the teams and six races on the calendar remaining, a strong qualifying in Austin, Texas<\/a> sees Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton line up in third and fifth places respectively.<\/p>\n

The potential thorn in the side is the in-form George Russell, who sits in between the scarlet machines.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cQualifying was quite a big surprise considering how difficult this weekend had been for us until now,\u201d commented Leclerc, who finished fifth in Saturday\u2019s Sprint behind Hamilton.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put everything together in the end and will start from P3 tomorrow. We\u2019ve learned quite a bit already and have applied that knowledge this afternoon. Hopefully tomorrow we can have a good start and fight our way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Hamilton, race day represents another opportunity to fight for points and close the gap on his old team.<\/p>\n

\u201cTomorrow will be demanding, but starting from further up the field gives us the chance to fight for important points,\u201d added the seven-time world champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrategy will play a big part, so we\u2019ll go through the details tonight to make sure we\u2019re ready for the Grand Prix. Austin is one of my favourite tracks and the fans have been incredible all weekend. I\u2019d love to repay that support with a strong result.\u201d<\/p>\n
