Red Bull's Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen took pole position for the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin on Saturday with title rival Lewis Hamilton alongside on the front row for Mercedes.
The winner in Austin has always come from the front row since the first grand prix at the Circuit of the Americas in 2012, and Verstappen was the first non-Mercedes driver to take pole since the start of the V6 turbo hybrid era in 2014. "I think we had a lot of good battles already this season so just looking forward to another one," added the Dutch youngster of the looming duel with Hamilton.
Verstappen's Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez had been eyeing the first pole position of his career after setting the pace in practice but ended up third on the grid.
