The
United States Grand Prix is next on the schedule, bringing a slightly different schedule than usual. The 2023
United States Grand Prix at the
Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, will take place on Sunday, October 22, at 20:00 BST. It will be the 18th race in the 2023
Formula 1 season and is the penultimate sprint weekend of the season.
When will the drivers be in action?
The United States Grand Prix weekend has seen a sprint format of
Formula 1. Just one practice session took place on Friday, with qualifying for the Grand Prix on Friday evening. The sprint format dominated the proceedings on Saturday, with the Sprint Shootout forming the grid for the sprint race. The main event takes place on Sunday at 20:00 BST (14:00 local time).
Max Verstappen will have to start the United States Grand Prix from sixth position. The Dutchman exceeded the track limits in his fastest lap and will therefore have to leave pole to
Charles Leclerc.
Leclerc has taken pole for Sunday's Grand Prix. The Monegasque was five thousandths slower than Verstappen, but the
Ferrari driver did stay inside the lines. Leclerc will start alongside
Lando Norris on the front row of the grid on Sunday. The Briton will hope to continue the tradition of being number two to come through turn one first.
On the second row,
Lewis Hamilton and
Carlos Sainz will start. Max Verstappen can only be found on row three, next to
George Russell. Behind the men who still clashed in Baku are the Alpine drivers.
Sergio Perez again disappointed in America by qualifying only ninth. Qualifying was also disappointing for
Oscar Piastri, resulting in a tenth starting spot.
