Max Verstappen went marginally quickest in FP1 for the US Grand Prix, with only one practice session before qualifying in Austin.
Max Verstappen topped FP1 for the US Grand Prix in Austin, in a closely-fought practice session at the Circuit of The Americas.
With only one hour of practice to refine car setup before qualifying later on Friday, it was unsurprising that the Circuit of The Americas was a hive of activity under the sun in Texas. A big improvement from Hamilton put him within half a tenth of Verstappen 15 minutes in, before moving ahead on hard tyres, as medium tyres began to get bolted on other cars as the drivers looked to get through as much of a practice programme as they could in the limited time they had.
The COTA bumps appeared heavily pronounced with the Formula 1 cars driving around, Sainz reporting his Ferrari “jumping around” on the straights and many others seeing their cars hopping over undulations in the track surface in multiple braking zones.The drivers were also visibly keeping well to the right out of the fast right-hander of Turn 18 where they would normally drift to the left for maximum speed, in the name of comfort.
Switching to mediums himself with 20 minutes to go, Norris went quickest ahead of Hamilton and Verstappen, as the leaderboard started to shuffle again as drivers improved on their quickest efforts as FP1 went on. Verstappen was one, moving onto softs and moving onto a 1:35.912, six further tenths clear of Albon to reclaim top spot once again. Nico Hulkenberg put himself third, though he appeared to go beyond track limits at both Turns 19 and 20, the latter renamed in honour of Mario Andretti.
