Max Verstappen will start on pole position for the 2025 US Grand Prix, alongside Lando Norris at the front of the starting grid.

But championship leader Oscar Piastri will only start sixth as his frustrating weekend continues, having failed to finish in Saturday’s sprint race where he crashed with McLaren team-mate Norris.

Qualifying saw Verstappen tighten his grip on this round at Circuit of the Americas. He had earlier won the sprint race, which he also started on pole.

The Red Bull driver was three-tenths of a second faster than Norris, even though he missing the chance to set a faster time: he crossed the start/finish line to start his final flying lap seconds after the session had ended.

As an indication of the size of his advantage, that same 0.3sec margin covered second to seventh places on the grid, with Charles Leclerc juts a few thousandths behind Norris, who said that McLaren was struggling for performance more than on Friday. He is followed by George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, Piastri and Kimi Antonelli.

Ollie Bearman starts an impressive eighth for Haas, ahead of Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso.

Verstappen praised the strength of his car in every segment of the lap, despite higher wind speeds that appeared to catch out Isack Hadjar who crashed on his first flying lap during the first Q1 stage.

As he hammered the steering wheel of his Racing Bull in frustration, the red flag brought a pause to the session.
