Max Verstappen will share the front row with Lando Norris at Formula 1's United States Grand Prix, with championship leader Oscar Piastri starting from sixth. 

Lance Stroll qualified in 18th place but he was set to start from last place because he picked up a five-place grid penalty for [colliding with Esteban Ocon in the sprint race](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/lance-stroll-gets-f1-grid-drop-for-needless-sprint-race-clash/).

However, this will be 19th as Isack Hadjar, who crashed in Q1, required permission to start - which was granted - after failing to set a laptime.
