The fourth sprint race of the 2025 F1 season gets underway TODAY (Saturday, October 18) at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) as the first race of the United States Grand Prix weekend in Austin takes centre stage.
An additional eight points are up for grabs this weekend due to the sprint race at COTA, and a win in both races could be crucial to Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri's title chances.
But it's four-time word champion Max Verstappen who is set to start on pole for the sprint race, as he looks to close the 63-point gap to Piastri in the championship by extending his all-time record tally for sprint race victories.
Verstappen beat Norris to sprint race pole on Friday, while championship leader Piastri will start the race from third.
It means we are set for a tight battle at COTA's iconic uphill turn one between the three championship protagonists, and Nico Hulkenberg and George Russell behind will look to benefit from any mishaps for any of the three cars out in front.
