Nico Hulkenberg of HaasF1Team dominated the US Grand Prix qualifiers with a time of 1:36.235. The Q1 results positioned Hulkenberg second and Kevin at sixteenth. Lewis Hamilton of MercedesAMGF1 is currently trailing in second place in Q3, with George at tenth, both equipped with fresh Softs for their last run. The FP1 session saw Scuderia Ferrari's drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz at P6 and P13 respectively, both on hard tyres. Teams are carefully strategizing their tyre choices, with McLarenF1 conserving their Soft tyres for subsequent sessions.
So final laps in Q3, coming right up. Lewis currently P2 with George in P10, after his first lap was deleted. Both on a fresh set of Softs for this last attempt! https://t.co/1fGgyxBERB
