United States Grand Prix
Times in Central European Time.

Practice 1
A routine hour with plenty of laps deleted for track limits and a few wide moments. The only real curiosity is an unusual FIA low-grip test at the very end.

Practice 2
Standard Friday work: qualifying simulations, then long runs, with only the odd twitchy moment in the esses. No stoppages, nothing you need to see in full.

Practice 3
Busier than usual, with laps scrubbed for track limits right up to the flag and a tight fight at the top. Still a normal practice hour without stoppages.

Qualifying
Track limits shape all three segments and the midfield cut-offs come down to hundredths. The top-ten shootout is tight too, but Q1 and Q2 carry the most tension.

A scrappy opening lap, then a strategic middle phase with split tyre plans. The payoff comes in the final 15 laps, when the offsets produce real wheel-to-wheel passing.
