US Grand Prix Sprint Event: Verstappen Secures Pole Position
Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen, who starts on sprint pole, commented: "It's always challenging to determine whether I could secure pole position."
"In my view in SQ1 and SQ2 the car felt competitive, quite close and in SQ3 it was about perfecting your lines with only a single opportunity so it presents a real test."
"It was good, the performance was solid. I predict it to be a fierce contest during the upcoming race versus the McLaren team. Conditions are slightly hotter but everyone faces the same situation."
"I expect it to be an intense duel."
