Max Verstappen finished second in the opening practice session for the United States Grand Prix, 0.084 seconds behind Charles Leclerc at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas.
Leclerc set the fastest time, 1:36.052, on soft tyres. Verstappen clocked 1:36.136, but later lost a quicker lap for exceeding track limits. Lando Norris was third, 0.245 seconds off the pace, while championship leader Kimi Antonelli finished fifth.
The second practice session is scheduled for 23:00 Dutch time on Friday. Qualifying is at the same time on Saturday, ahead of Sunday’s race, which starts at 21:00.
Antonelli leads the drivers’ standings on 340 points. George Russell is second on 238, Lewis Hamilton third on 229 and Verstappen fourth on 221. The report says Verstappen has won the past two races, including the Bahrain Grand Prix, held in Malaysia, and both the sprint and main race in Singapore.
