American Grand Prix Sprint Event: Max Verstappen Claims Starting Pole
Red Bull Racing's Verstappen, who will begin on sprint pole, shared: "It is consistently challenging to say [if he knew he could get the car on pole]."
"I think during the initial qualifying segments we weren't too bad, quite close and in SQ3 it was about nailing the references as you only have one attempt so it presents a real test."
"The lap felt strong, the run was impressive. I anticipate there will be an intense fight during the upcoming race against McLaren. Conditions are slightly hotter but it is the same for everyone."
"I expect it to be a real fight."
