Austin GP Results: Charles Leclerc Takes Pole Position At Iconic Circuit Of The Americas

The results of the Austin GP Qualifying session.

Charles Leclerc has taken pole position for the Austin Grand Prix on Sunday.

Another Sprint Race weekend is upon us so the qualifying session has taken place today to determine the grid for the race on Sunday. Joining the Ferrari driver on the front row is Lando Norris who will be starting the race from second. 

All of the drivers took to the track on soft tyres and with the high track temperatures of 42 degrees Celsius, track evolution was quick with a new driver constantly at the top of the time sheets.
