A late change to the starting grid is that George Russell will start from the pitlane.
Mercedes made changes to his car, reverting it to a previous spec, after his crash in qualifying damaged the upgrades parts.
Pierre Gasly, and everybody behind him, profited from a one-place jump as a result.
McLaren's Lando Norris will start the United States Grand Prix from pole position having edged out F1 title rival Max Verstappen to the fastest time in qualifying.
Behind F1 2024's championship protagonists, Ferrari locked out the second row of the grid, with Carlos Sainz outpacing Charles Leclerc.
Oscar Piastri lines up fifth in the second McLaren.
After suffering a shock Q1 elimination and worst-ever qualifying result at COTA, Lewis Hamilton is due to start from 17th.
Liam Lawson will go from the very back of the grid after serving an engine penalty for exceeding power unit components in his RB car.
Lewis regularly attends Grands Prix for Crash.net around the world. Often reporting on the action from the ground, Lewis tells the stories of the people who matter in the sport.
