On a day when a race win could see him crowned World Champion, Mercedes\u2019 Kimi Antonelli starts the United States Grand Prix from pole position. Joining him on the front row is Red Bull\u2019s Max Verstappen, who has team mate Isack Hadjar riding shotgun in P3.<\/p>\n
Charles Leclerc starts fourth for Ferrari, ahead of the two men who can stop Antonelli wrapping up the title in Austin \u2013 Lewis Hamilton in the sister Ferrari and the young Italian\u2019s own Mercedes team mate George Russell.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an all-McLaren fourth row, with Oscar Piastri heading reigning World Champion Lando Norris, while Racing Bull\u2019s Liam Lawson and Alpine\u2019s Pierre Gasly complete the top 10. Lawson\u2019s team mate Arvid Lindlad had qualified ninth, but drops to P14 thanks to a power unit (PU) penalty.<\/p>\n
Also receiving grid drops after taking on new PU components are Alpine\u2019s Franco Colapinto and Audi\u2019s Gabriel Bortoleto, the Argentine and Brazilian drivers starting 20th and 21st respectively.
\nFinally, Lance Stroll will begin his race from the pit lane following PU and set-up changes on his Aston Martin after Qualifying.<\/p>\n
