Here are the full qualifying results from the Las Vegas Strip Circuit in Nevada, where a thrilling qualifying session took place.

Results Q1:

Verstappen underlined Red Bull’s improvements from training by setting the fastest time as Q1 entered the closing stages, with the Dutch driver undone only by the final runs of Russell and Hamilton.

With the Mercedes leading 1-2, Verstappen finished in third place, ahead of Leclerc and Piastri, but there was less good news for the other side of the Red Bull garage.

Perez’s final lap only got him into Q2, with late improvements from Colapinto and Tsunoda pushing the Mexican back into the elimination zone in 16th.

Joining Perez on the sidelines were the two Aston Martins: Alonso in 17th and Stroll in 20th, with the Canadian scoring just one run at the end after an ERS problem left his car in pieces for most of the session .

Alex Albon was 18th for Williams, with Valtteri Bottas 19th for Sauber.
