Under the blazing Texas sun, Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) stood out on Saturday October 21, on the Circuit of the Americas. The Monegasque will start from pole position for the 21st time in his career on Sunday. Not very successful this season, Charles Leclerc – who “felt very comfortable in the car” on a circuit that he appreciates -, is still looking for a first victory in 2023. In Austin, he beat the two Britons Lando Norris (McLaren) and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).

The seven-time world champion is aiming for a sixth podium during this season marked by the hegemony (14 victories) of the now three-time reigning world champion., Max Verstappen. The latter will start from the third row (6th), his best time having been canceled due to exceeding the track limits.
