US Grand Prix: Max Verstappen takes Austin pole with Lando Norris second and Oscar Piastri sixth
Piastri leads Verstappen by 55 points heading into the grand prix, with Norris 22 behind the Australian. Verstappen, who topped every session of qualifying, said: "It was good, every segment the car was very strong, just trying to put the lap together around here is very tricky. "The first run in Q3 was good. Just managed to improve a little bit on Q2. I didn't manage to do my final run, it was a bit messy with the out laps but fortunately we didn't need it." Norris said: "It was a bit more of a struggle today for whatever reason, yesterday was quite comfortable. "I don't know whether others have improved or whether the wind has changed. And it was a bit more of a struggle to keep up with this guy. There was no chance we could have got pole today. "I look forward to hopefully have a good race with Max. We've had some good ones in the past." Leclerc had a spin out of the last corner on his first run in qualifying and did not expect such a strong lap at his final attempt. "It was quite big surprise, especially considering the weekend has been very difficult," he said. "There are still things we need to understand from this car, there is too much of a swing without changing much the car."

Ferrari has 'full confidence' in team boss Frederic Vasseur, says chairman John Elkann
Elkann spoke before being given a prize at an event in Washington DC to mark the 50th anniversary of the National Italian American Foundation. Vasseur, who has been in his role since January 2023, was given a new contract by Ferrari two and a half months ago. Hamilton said on Thursday at the United States Grand Prix in Austin that the stories about Horner and Ferrari were "distracting". Elkann's comments came after Ferrari issued guidance implying there was no truth to the Horner claims. In Saturday's sprint race in Austin, Hamilton finished fourth with team-mate Charles Leclerc fifth.

US Grand Prix: McLaren blame rivals for Oscar Piastri-Lando Norris collision in sprint race
McLaren F1 team principal Andrea Stella added: "The reaction is that we are disappointed that we didn't have the possibility to race. "It's surprising that some drivers with a lot of experience don't act with justful prudence. Go to the first corner, make sure you don't damage competitors and carry on." McLaren indicated that Stella was referring to both Hulkenberg and Alonso. However, 1996 world champion Damon Hill, commentating for BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra, said he thought Piastri had not shown enough awareness of the risks of the first corner of an F1 race when he chose to cut back to the inside to try to pass Norris. The Australian had a better start than the Briton and initially challenged on the outside on the uphill entry to the corner. But he then cut back to the inside in an attempt to get a run on Norris on the exit, only to collide with Hulkenberg Piastri said: "Not ideal but I haven't seen what happened, I tried to cut back on Lando and we were both very far from the apex and then got a hit and it sent me into Lando. A shame." Norris said: "I just got hit, right? I did nothing wrong. Further back things happened and I just got unlucky and got hit because of it. I don't know. I need to look a bit more carefully. It's more people further back just being a bit careless and we are the consequence of that." Alonso said: "At one point I thought I was in the right place on the inside, but some cars came very fast from the outside switching back and then I was there in the middle." Hulkenberg, who had qualified a season-best fourth, said: "Big frustrations. All the good work from yesterday in the bin. Just messy. "Oscar turned in pretty aggressively trying to get the undercut and exit of Turn One but I can't just disappear. "I had Fernando attack on the inside and I couldn't see him any more. I wanted to leave space for him and then Oscar turned in and the contact was inevitable."
