Here’s what you need to know: Leclerc topped qualifying for Ferrari at the Circuit of The Americas by 0.130 seconds ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris, who will start second on the grid. World champion Verstappen set a lap that was 0.
” Ferrari accidentally scared Leclerc when his engineer informed him Verstappen’s lap had been deleted. “I just had a heart attack, because my engineer told me ‘track limits…’, and then ‘…for Verstappen,’” Leclerc said, admitting he punched his steering wheel and helmet. “I heard ‘…for Verstappen’ and then I thought, OK, that’s better news for us! “That’s why in the moment, I said please tell me the name before the track limits, just so I don’t get too excited.
