A Ferrari fechou a preparação em Austin na frente. Lewis Hamilton foi o mais rápido do TL3 para o GP dos Estados Unidos, com 1min34s893 nos pneus macios, e ficou 0s168 à frente de Max Verstappen.
Charles Leclerc completou o trio da frente, ainda que tenha perdido sua melhor volta por ter saído dos limites de pista. Ele havia liderado o TL1 e o TL2 na sexta; desta vez, o registro válido foi 1min35s127, 0s234 atrás do companheiro.
Verstappen se encaixou entre os dois carros italianos, com 1min35s061 — 0s066 à frente de Leclerc. Entre os três, a diferença ficou abaixo de um quarto de segundo, o que promete briga apertada pela pole.
Kimi Antonelli levou a Mercedes ao quarto lugar, com 1min35s196, a 0s303 do líder. George Russell completou o grupo dos cinco mais rápidos, com 1min35s381.
A McLaren ficou de fora: Oscar Piastri foi sexto, com 1min35s531, a 0s638 da ponta, e Nico Hülkenberg colocou a Audi em sétimo, com 1min35s591 — 0s060 atrás do australiano.
Lando Norris terminou em oitavo, com 1min35s706, 0s813 atrás de Hamilton e 0s175 atrás de Piastri, o que expõe a dificuldade da McLaren em seguir o ritmo das rivais no treino.
Pierre Gasly ficou em nono, com 1min35s904, pela Alpine, e Isack Hadjar fechou os dez primeiros com 1min35s930, 0s026 atrás do francês.
Com o resultado, a Ferrari comandou as três sessões livres em Austin — Leclerc nas duas de sexta, Hamilton no último ensaio. A classificação agora concentra as atenções, com os dois italianos e Verstappen como candidatos à pole.
