After Sunday&#8217;s 56-lap race around the 20-turn, 3.427-mile (5.515-kilometer) road course in Austin, Texas, there will be a maximum of just 125 points left on the table.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7s\">With 150 points still on the table, Ferrari&#8217;s Lewis Hamilton is 111 points behind, Red Bull&#8217;s Max Verstappen is 119 points behind, Ferrari&#8217;s Charles Leclerc is 125 points behind, and McLaren&#8217;s Lando Norris is 139 points behind.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7x\">COTA has hosted 13 United States Grands Prix since 2012, and the race has historically been one of the most exciting on the calendar. The 2025 race, won by Verstappen, was the first won from pole since 2021 and the first won from the front row since 2022. It was also the first race in COTA history that did not feature a lead change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"82\">In a season of new regulations which has thus far seen just one driver win after starting from behind the front row, how crucial will Saturday&#8217;s qualifying session be?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"87\">Follow along with our live qualifying updates from Circuit of the Americas.<\/p>\n<p>United States Grand Prix F1 qualifying: Eliminated in Q1<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8h\">17 &#8211;
