AUSTIN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Red Bull’s Max Verstappen cruised to an easy victory Saturday in a crash-filled United States Grand Prix sprint race, and then took pole position for the main event on a rough day for Formula 1 championship leader<\/a> Oscar Piastri.<\/p>\n

Piastri and Lando Norris, who are 1-2 in the title chase, crashed out<\/a> on the first lap of the sprint race. After mechanics worked furiously to get their cars back together, Norris recovered to finish second to Verstappen in qualifying for Sunday’s grand prix, but Piastri was a distant sixth.<\/p>\n
