Lewis Hamilton took the pole position for the US Grand prix after a close battle with the Ferrari drivers. Sebastian Vettel was second in the qualifying at COTA while Kimi Raikkonen was third.
„That was close – I didn’t know how close it was going to be when we got to qualifying. That last run, I knew it was quite edgy between us and it would require sold laps. The first one was decent but not good enough, and the second one was just that little bit better that enable me to pull that out. I was adamant that today I was going to do a better second lap, so I was very happy with that”, Hamilton said.
