Kimi Antonelli conquistou a pole do GP dos Estados Unidos em uma classificação com vento instável e vários erros, e deu mais um passo rumo ao título de campeão mais jovem da F1. Ao lado dele, na primeira fila, estará Max Verstappen.

A segunda fila tem Isack Hadjar, da Red Bull, ao lado de Charles Leclerc, dono dos melhores tempos nos treinos livres com a Ferrari.

Gabriel Bortoleto trocou quase todos os elementos da unidade de potência e vai pagar punição, largando em último mesmo depois do 13º lugar na classificação.

A corrida, 18ª etapa do campeonato, começa às 17h deste domingo (25), em Brasília; é o GP dos EUA, em Austin. Antonelli precisa vencer, ter Russell no máximo em nono e Hamilton ao menos em quinto para chegar ao título com cinco provas de antecedência — ele mesmo definiu esse cenário como uma "catástrofe". Após a classificação, Hamilton larga em quinto e Russell em sexto, o que deixa a situação menos improvável.

No Q1, as Cadillac ficaram nas últimas posições; Alonso escapou de um princípio de incêndio na traseira do carro ao sair dos boxes e avançou. Leclerc foi o mais rápido no Q2, mas não passou do quarto lugar.
