F1 United States Grand Prix qualifying – Start time, how to watch, channel
Ferrari set the pace in both practice sessions on Friday, but with FP2 effectively limited to tire testing, a real pecking order has yet to emerge for Austin.
Mercedes and Red Bull are the only teams to have clinched pole at the Texas-based track, which debuted on the calendar shortly after its completion in 2012. Its streak only ended last year when Max Verstappen Lewis Hamilton defeated in qualifying.
