Both Haas and Aston Martin have announced that they will start both of their cars from the pit lane for the United States Grand Prix in order to change their setups. The decision came after both teams struggled with their upgrades during qualifying and the sprint race. Haas had issues with their heavily updated car, prompting them to make significant setup changes to both cars to learn more about the developments over a full race distance. Aston Martin, on the other hand, will split approaches, with one car reverting back to the previous specification and the other staying with the new spec but making setup changes. Deputy technical director Eric Blandin stated that a simulation error in FP1 had put them on the back foot for the whole weekend. As a result, Daniel Ricciardo will be promoted to 14th on the grid.
