Here is how you can watch F1 qualifying TODAY (Saturday, October 18) in Austin for the 2025 United States Grand Prix. <\/b><\/p>\n
\nAfter Saturday’s sprint race action, attention turns to the main race at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA)<\/a>, with qualifying setting the grid for Sunday’s main event.
<\/p>\n \nMax Verstappen’s pole position during sprint race qualifying<\/a> was his third straight sprint pole at COTA, and if he can repeat that feat in main race qualifying, he will be in a great position to make real inroads into Oscar Piastri’s championship lead<\/a>.
<\/p>\n \nBut both McLaren drivers will be a real threat to Verstappen, as they were in sprint race qualifying, with Piastri and his team-mate Lando Norris also wanting to reinvigorate their championship tilts<\/a>.
<\/p>\n \nGeorge Russell<\/a> has been in scintillating qualifying form of late, and so could also be a threat to the three championship protagonists, while Ferrari<\/a> can’t be ruled out, with king of COTA Lewis Hamilton<\/a> and Charles Leclerc<\/a> hoping to cause an upset.
<\/p>\n \nThe run down to the track’s iconic uphill turn one can often be chaotic, so you don’t want to miss this qualifying session to see where the drivers will line up for Sunday’s main race!
<\/p>\n \nHere are your timings for Saturday’s crucial qualifying session.
