Internet reacts to Leclerc's pole: 'Will be eight exciting opening laps'

Charles Leclerc can still do it, even if it took a little help from Max Verstappen. But rules are rules: Verstappen went off track, his time was taken away and so Ferrari' s Monegasque could celebrate his little party. Leclerc will start Sunday's US Grand Prix from the first starting spot. On X - formerly known as Twitter - there were congratulations for Leclerc. But will he also win the race?

Whether the answer to that question is positive, not everyone is sure!

With Max Verstappen only in sixth place, Mercedes also has every hope of victory. The German team has already held secret consultations on how to help Hamilton to victory. There are pictures of that!

And should Lewis for any reason be unable to compete on Sunday, a replacement has already been found!
