Charles Leclerc will start the United States Grand Prix on pole position after the Monegasque driver claimed pole during Friday's thrilling qualifying.

The 26-year-old has a British duo for company at lights out, with Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton lining up in second and third respectively.

Carlos Sainz starts in fourth, with George Russell rounding off the top five. The Mercedes star was hit with two penalties during Saturday's sprint activities, neither of which will have an impact for Sunday's race.
