Red Bull's Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen secured pole position for the US Grand Prix in the dying seconds on Saturday as Mercedes title rival Lewis Hamilton had to settle for second
The winner in Austin has always come from the front row, with Hamilton winning from second on the grid in the first race there in 2012 and then 2014 and 2015.
The Mexican, almost a local and roared on by much of the 120,000 strong crowd, was fastest after the initial flying laps but he could not make it stick as first Hamilton and then Verstappen went quicker. Perez will be joined on the second row by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who was fastest in the opening phase of qualifying.
