Carlos Sainz has put his Ferrari on pole position for the Formula 1 US Grand Prix in Austin Texas. Carlos was followed by his teammate, Charles Leclerc, but a engine-change penalty will see Leclerc start from P12.
A somber afternoon for Red Bull Racing as news broke just ahead of qualifying that company co-founder, Dietrich Mateschitz, had passed away. Max managed to come in 3rd but will start on the front row due to Leclerc’s penalty.
