George Russell will start from the top position on Saturday night in Las Vegas after leading the qualifying session for the Mercedes team.
The British driver set a best time of 1m32s312 at the end of Q3 to lead by 0s098 over Carlos Sainz, who took his Ferrari to second place and will share the front row with Russell.
Pierre Gasly was surprised to take third place for Alpine in a great job by the French driver, who finished with a personal best of 1m32s664, ahead of Charles Leclerc, the other Ferrari driver, who will be fourth.
The third row of the grid will feature the two championship contenders, as Max Verstappen could only be fifth in the classification and Lando Norris, who urgently needs to beat the Dutchman, was only sixth with his McLaren.
Yuki Tsunoda finished seventh for RB, ahead of Nico Hulkenberg and Lewis Hamilton, who was unable to set competitive times due to various errors made during his two laps of Q3.
As for the Latin American drivers, Franco Colapinto had a strong crash during Q2 and finished 14th in the classification, two places ahead of Sergio Pérez, who was eliminated in the first stage of the session at the wheel of his Red Bull.
