F1 Sprint Shootout Results - United States Grand Prix 2023 times from DRAMATIC session
Max Verstappen qualified first for Saturday evening's sprint race in a dramatic sprint shootout session, with just over a tenth of a second covering the top four.
The first four drivers were all driving different cars, with Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris hot on the Dutchman's heels.
Fernando Alonso was eliminated from in SQ2, continuing a nightmare weekend for the Spaniard after qualifying in the bottom five for Sunday's feature race.
The sprint shootout gave Verstappen a chance to redeem himself after Friday's qualifying session for Sunday's feature race, qualifying just sixth after having his fastest time deleted for a track limits violation.
The three-time champion set the fastest time in all three shootout sessions, but had a scary moment when his car did a full 360º spin on his second flying lap in SQ2 – just managing to rescue it.
