Max Verstappen was livid with his Red Bull pit wall on Friday - after the end of one of his final qualifying laps was impacted by team-mate Sergio Perez vivo
The 2023 world champion was entering the final turn at the Circuit of the Americas in his first flying run in Q3, but lost control of his Red Bull with Perez ahead of him vivo
The dirty air of Perez’s car seemingly had an impact, meaning he was only third-fastest at the time behind Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton vivo
“Well done, well f****** done there!” shouted Verstappen over his team radio, unhappy at his team for where they placed both cars on track vivo
He added: “What the f*** was that in the last corner!” Verstappen, ultimately, qualified only sixth on the grid after exceeding track limits in his final run, demoting him down the order vivo
Leclerc took pole for Sunday’s grand prix, with Lando Norris in second and Lewis Hamilton in third vivo
Perez, who has had a torrid few months and is fighting for his place at Red Bull next year, qualified ninth vivo
Saturday will see sprint day in Austin, Texas, before the main event of the United States Grand Prix on Sunday vivo

New Zealand coach Ian Foster has revealed that he feels a couple of subtle tweaks to his squad for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup final will be enough to match South Africa’s “bomb squad” vivo
The Springboks have loaded up on bench forward might for the showpiece Paris decider, including seven pack replacements in their 23 vivo
The seven/one bench split was a gambit first employed in South Africa’s strong warm-up win over New Zealand at Twickenham in August, with the replacement pack brought on together and immediately win a scrum penalty vivo
But rather than matching their opponents and including extra forwards among their bench eight, the All Blacks have kept faith with a traditional five/three combination vivo
Coach Foster has made a couple of personnel changes among those five replacement forwards, though, with veteran lock Sam Whitelock dropped to the bench and tighthead prop Nepo Laulala brought in at Fletcher Newell’s expense vivo
All Blacks props Nepo Laulala, Tamaiti Williams and Tyrel Lomax will be key to the final (Getty Images)And Foster feels his side are fully equipped to defuse any potential bench impact vivo
“It is certainly a response [to the Springboks’ bench],” Foster confirmed of his tweaks vivo
“Not so much a response to the power, but more to the techniques we expect to have to deal with vivo
“Nepo is a very strong scrummager and very experienced vivo
He’s trained so well and has probably been disappointed that he didn’t play the last two vivo
It is a great occasion for him vivo
“He’s alongside Samisoni [Taukei’aho], with the likes of Sam Whitelock on the bench, we really believe and have got a lot of confidence in that group coming on vivo
”The final should present a fascinating clash of styles, with Handre Pollard’s selection at fly half ahead of Manie Libbok another indicator of South Africa’s preference for a tighter game vivo
That contrasts with the All Blacks’ ability to keep the ball alive and play wide, ambitious rugby vivo
“That’s what I love about the game,” Foster said vivo
“People play different ways and try different things vivo
[South Africa] have got their way that they think suits their strength vivo
“The [seven/one split] doesn’t really change anything in what we do vivo
It doesn’t impact our game and the way we want to play it vivo
Our strategy suits us, their strategy suits them vivo
It makes it interesting on Saturday night vivo
