American Grand Prix Sprint Event: Max Verstappen Takes Pole Position

Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen, who will begin on sprint pole, commented: "It's always difficult to say [if he knew he could get the car on pole]."
"I think in SQ1 and SQ2 we weren't too bad, extremely competitive and in SQ3 the key was getting your references right with only a single opportunity so it presents a real test."
"It was good, the performance was solid. I anticipate there will be an intense fight now in the race with McLaren. It's a bit warmer but everyone faces the same situation."
"I anticipate there will be an intense duel."
