23.02 1'32 ″ 029 for Bottas, track record and fifth pole position for the Finn. 2nd Vettel only 12 thousandths, 3rd Verstappen at 0.067, 4th Leclerc at 0.108. Crazy balance in this qualification! Great disappointed Hamilton, fifth at 0.292, closed the top10 Albon, Sainz, Norris, Ricciardo and Gasly.
23.01 Vettel and Leclerc do not improve, it is pole for Valtteri Bottas.
22.59 LAST MINUTE! The first five are enclosed in 3 tenths! Leclerc is the last to launch.
22.58 Verstappen is the first among the big to launch, this time he doesn't want to risk yellow flags.
22.57 12 damn thousandths. Vettel must try to cancel them to take the pole.
22.56 The calm before the storm … Soon the fireworks for pole.
22.55 5 minutes to the end, anything can happen!
22.55 6th Albon, then Sainz, Norris, Gasly and Ricciardo.
22.54 Bottas was passed with the track record, 1’32 ″ 029. But Vettel is really close, just 0.012! A blink of an eye! Must try it! Leclerc paid the most worn engine in the second sector.
22.52 NOOOOOOOOO !!! Vettel is second at 12 thousandths from Bottas! A real trifle! 3rd Verstappen at 0.162, 4th Leclerc at 0.198, only fifth Hamilton at almost 3 tenths!
22.51 24 ″ 5 for Leclerc. But the Ferrari then suffers in the last two sectors.
22.51 24 ″ 652 for Hamilton.
22.51 Hamilton is the first to launch.
22.49 Immediately on track Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull. Soft tires, maximum horsepower: soon the truth …
22.48 START Q3! Last 12 minutes to establish the starting grid!
22.46 The complete Q2 ranking.

22.45 Leclerc closed the Q2 in command in 1’32 ″ 760, new track record, ahead of Vettel by only 22 thousandths, 3rd Albon at 138, 4th Hamilton at 285, 5th Verstappen at 360, 6th Bottas. Of these, Albon alone was fitted with soft tires, the others were on average: so different strategies at Red Bull.
22.44 Eliminated, from 11th to 15th position, the following pilots: Hulkenberg, Magnussen, Kvyat, Stroll and Grosjean.
22.43 INCREDIBLE! Misunderstanding between Verstappen, Hamilton and Kvyat who risk a big accident! The Dutchman was coming at full speed and almost crashed the two opponents, who were slowing down!
22.41 Mercedes and Red Bull, however, have raised their foot before the finish line with soft rubber.
22.40 THE FERRARI RETURNS NEXT! 1'32 ″ 760 for Leclerc with yellow rubber, Vettel is second at 22 thousandths!
22.38 Ferrari is faster than its rivals only in the first sector, the engine sector. Then pay a lot in slow corners.
22.37 Red Bull and Mercedes return to the track with red rubber, yellow instead for Vettel and Leclerc.
22.36 Four minutes to the end.
22.35 At the moment Kvyat, Ricciardo, Stroll, Hulkenberg and Grosjean would be eliminated.
22.34 Despite an old and hastily mounted engine after FP3, Leclerc is already ahead of Vettel. Not bad…
22.33 The first six are enclosed in 3 tenths. To understand if the Ferrari is keeping an ace up its sleeve for the Q3 or if really Red Bull and Mercedes have something more.
22.31 Albon takes the lead in 1’32 ″ 898, 0.147 better than Hamilton. Verstappen is third at 0.222, but with medium rubber. Fifth and sixth position for the Ferraris of Leclerc and Vettel.
22.30 The Mercedes are in front of the Ferrari. 1’33 ″ 045 for Hamilton, which precedes 115 thousandths Bottas, 143 Leclerc and 153 Vettel. All with medium tires.
22.29 Leclerc is the fastest at the first intermediate, a tenth and a half ahead of Hamilton.
22.28 Ferrari has shown gaps in the pace with the soft. This is why the Prancing Horse would like to play with the averages.
22.27 He is waiting for Red Bull for the moment.
22.26 Ferrari and Mercedes immediately on the track with medium tires (yellow compound). They could opt to make time with these tires and then use them even tomorrow at the start, as per regulation.
22.25 Start Q2. 15 minutes and another 5 pilots to be eliminated.

22.22 Charles Leclerc, who is assembling a power-unit used after the failure in FP3, saved himself from the cut, closing 12th.
22.21 Lando Norris (McLaren) finished Q1 in 1’33 ″ 353, ahead of 101 thousandths Hamilton, 196 Verstappen, 203 Gasly, 397 Bottas, 413 Vettel (sixth).
22.20 12th Leclerc, but it's safe! Eliminated, from the 16th to the 20th position, the following pilots: Giovinazzi, Raikkonen, Russell, Perez and Kubica.
22.19 Attention, Leclerc has fallen in eleventh position!
22.19 CRAZY! Lando Norris in charge! Trim 101 thousandths to Hamilton! A McLaren that hasn't been seen at these levels for years.
22.18 Attention, the track is improving a lot! Best Partial Second for Norris!
22.16 Leclerc is struggling to find the right set-up with the old power-unit. He will have to invent something.
22.15 Hamilton always leading with 95 cents on Verstappen.
22.13 4 minutes at the end of Q1.
22.13 At the moment eliminated Raikkonen, Giovinazzi, Perez, Russell and Kubica.
22.12 Sainz, with McLaren, remains fifth at 4 tenths from Hamilton, ahead of Albon and Vettel. That the noble fallen of the World Cup is really coming back?
22.11 Leclerc sets the fastest time at the first intermediate, then commits a mistake to the snake.
22.09 Lewis Hamilton throws the mask and flies to the command in 1’33 ″ 454. At 95 thousandths Verstappen, at 0.296 Bottas, at 0.312 Vettel. Leclerc is seventh to half a second.
22.08 The first of Sainz has a short duration. Verstappen rises to the top in 1’33 ″ 549!
22.08 Continue to amaze McLaren on this track. Sainz in command in 1’33 ″ 916!
22.07 Sebastian Vettel starts badly: locking the front left when braking and the first lap aborted.
22.06 Also Vettel, Verstappen, Hamilton and Bottas take to the track.
22.05 Raikkonen moves to second place 8 tenths from Leclerc.
22.04 1’34 ″ 696 for Leclerc with soft tires, a very high time to start.
22.03 On paper, Leclerc is using the power-unit that was replaced after the Belgian GP. Therefore it is not updated like the one used from Monza onwards. A disadvantage not just …
22.02 Also on track is Charles Leclerc, who needs to shoot as much as possible after missing FP3.
22.02 The first to take to the track is the Polish Kubica with Williams.

22.01 18 minutes the duration of Q1. The first five pilots will be eliminated.
22.00 START THE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE 2019 USA GP AT AUSTIN!
21.58 Turquoise sky in Austin, danger of rain completely absent.
21.54 Vettel, Verstappen or Hamilton: will the poleman come out of one of these three names? Charles Leclerc will have to deal with an old engine with so many unknowns to deal with.
20.50 Ten minutes to qualifying!
21.47 The Mercedes has remained distant from the times of Verstappen and Vettel during the FP3. It is known, however, that in Stuttgart they are very adept at playing hide and seek.
21.40 Beware of Max Verstappen, who appeared perky as never before with Red Bull. The Dutch wants to make up with the interests after the pole lost in Mexico.
21.36 Charles Leclerc, having completely missed FP3 for engine oil loss, will have to try to make as many laps as possible during Q1 and Q2, so as to acquire as much data as possible for the race.
21.35 Since the introduction of the turbo / hybrid era, Mercedes has always taken the pole-position in Austin. A situation identical to Spa and Suzuka, when Ferrari managed to interrupt the Teutonic hegemony.
21.31 In the Ferrari box the engine just mounted on the car by Charles Leclerc was turned on. We recall that this is a used power-unit: if the team had opted for a new PU, it would have suffered a penalty of 10 positions on the starting grid.
21.29 Valtteri Bottas does not like the Texas circuit. Here he never got on the podium and got a fifth place as the best result with Mercedes in the last two years (the same placement he achieved with Williams in 2014).
21.25 Lewis Hamilton holds the pole-position record in Austin, 3, which he also won without interruption from 2016 to 2018.
21.20 Let's review the images of FP3 with Charles Leclerc's Ferrari in smoke.
A nightmare FP3 for Charles Leclerc!

21.19 Free practice yesterday and today did not clarify the real values in the field. Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes gave the feeling of being very close and, at the same time, of hiding themselves by not using all the horses of the engine.
21.15 Clearly Leclerc will have to rely on a non-fresh engine, with many kilometers already traveled. A disadvantage compared to the competition, at least on paper.
CHARLES LECLERC WILL NOT BE PENALTY: CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE
21.10 According to reports from SkySport, Leclerc would have been stopped in FP3 by an oil leak in the engine. Ferrari has replaced it with a used engine, so as to avoid the penalty.
21.04 UPDATE: NO PENALTY FOR CHARLES LECLERC! The Ferrari driver will use an "old" power-unit, so he will not be penalized by 10 grid positions!

18.56 We remember that this weekend Hamilton could win his sixth title. With 74 points ahead the Mercedes driver is really close to the final success, since then two races will be missing and at most 52 points to be conquered
18.54 Here is the track of Austin in its entirety. A mix of high speed straights, corners and traction curves that make this track one of the most varied and indicative of the whole World
Plan your #USGP weekend so you know exactly which experiences, food and entertainment you don´t want to miss. ⤵️

18.52 A virtual tour on the splendid T1 of the American track. The succession of curves, which incorporates the Becksys of Silverstone is really very difficult as well as spectacular!
Will we see a repeat of this, this weekend? 🙊

6.45pm Friday with a few flickers, instead, for Valtteri Bottas who finished in an anonymous fifth place. After the great Suzuka weekend, does the Finn seem to have pulled the plug a little?
18.43 Good confirmations also from his companion Alexander Albon who finished in sixth place, and continues his apprenticeship on RB15
18.40 20 minutes at the start of FP3!
18.39 For the Red Bull rider this is the 100th Grand Prix in his career. A resounding number for a 22-year-old …

18.37 An excellent third time trial for Max Verstappen. The Dutchman seems ready to fight for the positions that matter, having to make up for the bad Mexican weekend
18.35 Seb Vettel instead stopped in fourth position. The German appeared in good shape, but was unable to compose a perfect fast lap. Today he will be able to make up for it

21.00 GREEN TRAFFIC LIGHT! TAKE THE FP2 OF THE USA GP!
20.58 Two minutes at the start of the session. In Ferrari you can repair yourself with the caps …
But not that much 😀#USGP 🇺🇸 # F1 pic.twitter.com/Nax88PZaZs

20.55 Current conditions at COTA. Path that reaches 25 degrees
What’s the FP2 weather doing? 🤔

20.52 The Texan track measures 5513 meters and has 20 bends. Mix fast stretches with slow corners and distance bends.
20.50 10 minutes at the start. The sun shines in Austin and the temperature has risen to 16 degrees. Climate more indicative than FP1
20.48 A summary of what happened in FP1 and all the errors this morning. The decidedly ruined asphalt did not help the pilots.
Get ready for a bumpy ride! 😬
The #USGP weekend is under way, after an exciting first practice session …

20.45 15 minutes at the start of FP2
20.43 The splendid approach of turn 1 with a breathtaking climb. The Texan circuit is really one of the most beautiful and varied of the whole World Cup.
The run to @COTA‘S Turn 1 is STEEP!#USGP 🇺🇸 # F1 pic.twitter.com/4eSqgC8Ift

20.41 Another view of Leclerc's error. The 22-year-old from Montecarlo is back from a string of excellent qualifications, but wants to return to winning in the race. The COTA looks ideal for both him and the SF90
It wasn't the best FP1 session for Charles Leclerc …
He finished in P7, after this off at Turn 9#USGP 🇺🇸 # F1 pic.twitter.com/BEEE85iyh7

20.38 FP1 more complicated for Leclerc. The Monegasque, who in turn traveled a lot with the Pirelli 2020 tires, replicated what he saw in Mexico, that is to say nervous driving with a car that appears not with the right balance

20.35 Well, instead, Seb Vettel. The German, who wants to confirm his current moment of form, is second at short distance from Verstappen and seemed immediately at ease at COTA

20.33 A particularly interlocutory morning in the Mercedes house. Bottas did not go beyond the 17th position, while Hamilton (who were canceled several times per turn in turn 19) ranked eighth. The Silver Arrows have not yet forced, and the world champion has worked above all with the Pirelli 2020 tires.
👀 Bottas and Hamilton currently sit in P14 and P17 👀

20.25 There were really a lot of head-tail during the FP1. Among these, Kvyat was not missing, having lost its Toro Rosso even out of turn 1.

20.22 So the best morning time in Texan was set by Verstappen who took advantage of the soft tires. The Dutchman has shown that he is doing well at the Circuit of The Americas, but he will have to show he can improve since FP2

SEBASTIAN VETTEL ON THE NEW REGULATION 2021: "I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED THE MOST FEELED ENGINES"
Hello and welcome to the LIVE LIVE of the first free practice session of the United States of America Grand Prix 2019, 19th and third last round of the Formula 1 World Championship. At the end of this weekend Lewis Hamilton will almost certainly celebrate his sixth world title in his career and the fifth since he arrived in Mercedes, in fact the Brit only has to bring home 4 punticini (just an eighth place) or hope that his partner team Valtteri Bottas does not win.
Compared to the last edition the weather should not fortunately create problems for pilots over the weekend, although it should be emphasized that it will be quite cold in Texas. In 2018 it was Ferrari that triumphed thanks to Kimi Raikkonen, returned to success in Austin after 114 abstinence races before the Red Bull of an extraordinary Max Verstappen (started 18th for a technical problem accused on Saturday) and the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton. This year the Rossa will try to confirm itself at the top in qualifying reaching the seventh consecutive pole position to then eliminate the mistakes made in the last appointments in order to transform the dominion on the dry lap into heavy points in the race.
OASport offers you the LIVE LIVE text of the free practice 1 of the United States Grand Prix 2019 with constant updates in real time so as not to miss even a moment of the team's track activity in Austin. It starts at 5.00 pm with the green light of the shift: have fun!
