The starting grid of the US GP: more penalties!

And also the starting grid of the US Grand Prix is characterized by penalties. Starting in front is Carlos Sainz which, after the extraordinary pole yesterday, he will have Max Verstappen's Red Bull next to him. The Dutchman will immediately search the attack on Sainz's Red, paying attention, however, to the second row with license plate Mercedes. In fact, third place will be Lewis Hamilton with George Russell next to him.

Top ten completely new

It is a very new third row, undoubtedly characterized by penalty. Fifth place for a super Lance Stroll(who finished seventh yesterday). For the Aston Martin driver, a good race would be the end of a very positive weekend for now. Sixth time instead for Lando Norris who, despite the difficulties, will try to gain as many positions as possible from Fernando Alonso's Alpine for fourth place in the constructors' classification. Seventh time for Valtteri Bottas in front of a super Alexander Albon, still qualifying MVP who will start from eighth place tonight. Ninth instead Perez that, following the penalty of five positions for changing the ICE, he will start in the fifth row with Sebastian Vettel next to him.

Leclerc is looking for a comeback

Eleventh time instead for Pierre Gasly. The Frenchman has been complaining of car problems for some time, but he does better than Tsunoda thirteenth. Between the two AlphaTauris there is the Ferrari by Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque, fitting new components, had to serve 10 penalty positions but yesterday's qualifying showed that this could also be his race. Fourteenth and fifteenth position for Alonso (penalized for the change of the ICE) and Kevin Magnussen.

The grill bottom you don't expect

You don't expect, and instead there are, in the rear la McLaren by Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon respectively in sixteenth and seventeenth place. The challenge for fourth constructors' place therefore also moves to the back of the grid, with the two drivers who do not seem to have Austin on their favorite tracks. Closing the grid was Schumacher's Haas, third from last, together with the penalized Zhou and Latifi's Williams.

Up the engines

This starting grid offers a show and above all possible comebacks. Appointment not to be missed, at 21.00, with the turning off of the traffic lights of the fourth last appointment of the year.
