In a flying final lap of qualifying, Max Verstappen snagged the pole position for the United States Grand Prix from Lewis Hamilton, who will be P2.
This will be the seventh time this season the two will lock out the front row. Verstappen leads the drivers' standings with 262.5 points while Hamilton trails at 256.5 points.
"It was exciting out there," Verstappen said. "P1 and P3 for the team is a very strong performance. I hope to have a good start tomorrow for the best possible result"
For a period of time, it looked like Verstappen's teammate, Sergio Perez, was going to have the pole position.
