Who’s on pole position for the race in Austin?

Saturday’s qualifying session was an intense one; particularly the battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. However, this time it wasn’t the 7-times world champion securing pole position for Sunday’s race. Instead, it was his arch-rival from Red Bull.

The Dutch driver will see the five-red lights from the very front of the grid, while Hamilton will be in second. Nevertheless, the Mercedes driver will throw everything at the Red Bull prodigy to steal the lead from him.
