Max Verstappen perhaps enters qualifying for the United States Grand Prix as the slim favourite after winning the F1 sprint at the Circuit of the Americas.
The reigning world champion also set the fastest lap during the 19-lap race and looked the most comfortable.
Ferrari are a team being watched very closely though, with both Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc having looked good all weekend.
Mercedes struggled in the sprint but do have great one-lap pace in Austin, whilst McLaren are always a challenger for pole. Lando Norris needs a big performance.
