FIA post-Qualifying press conference – United States

Max Verstappen claimed pole position for the United States Grand Prix despite his final Q3 lap being aborted due to traffic. Lando Norris secured P2, expressing satisfaction with the result given his struggles with car balance and challenging wind conditions throughout qualifying, noting it wasn't his best session. Charles Leclerc surprisingly qualified P3, acknowledging Ferrari's inconsistent weekend performance but hoping their strong race pace will prove beneficial. All top drivers highlighted the demanding track conditions, particularly the strong winds affecting car stability. Norris also voiced concern over his lack of long-run data following his Sprint race incident, potentially putting him at a disadvantage for Sunday's main race.
