Follow all the action live from qualifying ahead of the 2025 F1 United States Grand Prix from Austin!
McLaren will aim to recover from their disappointing performance at the United States Grand Prix Sprint, where they experienced a double retirement during main race qualifying.
Nico Hulkenberg made contact with Oscar Piastri at Turn 1, causing the championship leader to also collide with teammate Lando Norris.
The incident led to Fernando Alonso’s elimination, allowing Max Verstappen to seize the victory and narrow Piastri’s lead to 55 points, with Norris trailing by 33 points in second place. The question remains whether Verstappen can deliver another strong performance in qualifying.
Last year, Norris secured pole position ahead of Verstappen, while Piastri started from fifth place. It remains to be seen how the drivers will fare in Austin on Saturday afternoon.
