Max Verstappen<\/a> will start on pole for Saturday’s sprint race at the United States Grand Prix after pipping the McLaren<\/a> Formula 1 pair to top spot in Austin.<\/p>\n

Verstappen beat Lando Norris<\/a> by 0.071s with championship leader Oscar Piastri<\/a> in third, close to four tenths off top, setting up the drivers’ title fight picture quite nicely.<\/p>\n

Piastri leads Norris by 22 points while Verstappen is 63 behind the Australian with six rounds remaining, but the four-time world champion is the main in form with two wins in three for Red Bull.<\/p>\n

So how will all of this change in Saturday’s sprint race? Just a few hours later will be qualifying for Sunday’s grand prix as well, so here is how to watch all of the Saturday action.\u00a0<\/p>\n
