In Texas, Sheriff Chalres Leclerc dictates the law: seasonal pole number 3 – the twenty-first of his career – in qualifying for the US F1 GP in Austin, on the Circuit of The Americas. But it was a very exciting qualifying, with Max Verstappen who had done better than the Ferrari driver by 5 thousandths but had his lap canceled for exceeding track limits. Already out in Q1, for the first time in the season, both Aston Martins of Alonso and Stroll.
