Lewis Hamilton set the pace ahead of Max Verstappen during the final practice session at the Circuit of the Americas, dominating a closely contested hour of running ahead of Formula 1 qualifying.
The seven-time world champion emerged as the only driver to dip into the 1m34s bracket, edging his former title rival by 0.168 seconds in a session heavily disrupted by track limits violations across the field.
Charles Leclerc initially went quicker than his Ferrari team-mate but saw his benchmark lap deleted due to exceeding track limits at Turn 9, forcing the Monegasque driver to settle for third position on medium tyres.
Track limits proved to be a major talking point throughout the morning in Austin, catching out several front-runners and raising tension ahead of what promises to be a dramatic qualifying showdown for Sunday's grand prix.
Ferrari's consistent speed with their upgraded package highlights a strong opportunity to claim their first pole position of the 2026 season as teams prepare for the grid-deciding sessions later tonight.
