Hello everybody and welcome to a big day of Formula 1 here on the MARCA in English live blog for United States GP race.
The start time for today’s race at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas is 20:00 BST, making it 21:00 CEST. If you’re joining us in the United States, the start time is 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT.
Max Verstappen already has the championship wrapped up, but he will be eager to win yet another race to break the all-time record for wins in a season. The Dutchman has fond memories of Texas having also won there last year.
But it will be Carlos Sainz starting first on the grid after claiming pole position in qualifying. The Spaniard outmuscled his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc to give himself an initial advantage
Verstappen could only manage third place in qualifying but will start up alongside Sainz with Leclerc having a ten-point penalty.
