Verstappen won last year in Texas and another victory with fastest lap on Sunday would secure Red Bull's first constructors' title since 2013. "But we are going to try to do everything we can to try to stay ahead tomorrow and win the race. (202). " The session was overshadowed by news that Austrian billionaire Mateschitz, who owned two of the sport's 10 teams, had died at the age of 78 with Red Bull Racing on the cusp of their first title double since 2013. The champion was not entirely happy in the session, however, complaining that"there must be something wrong with the  car  because there is no front end in low speed. "It has been hard news, I think, for everyone," said Verstappen, who clinched his second successive drivers' championship in Japan two weeks' ago. "It has been a very tough day and we tried, of course, to give it everything today in qualifying. Unfortunately we missed out by a little but..m. .hopefully we will make him proud tomorrow." Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was second in the final top 10 shootout, with Verstappen third, but will drop 10 places down the grid due to engine penalties. The Monegasque was 0.065 slower than Sainz's pole time of one minute 34. 356 seconds in a windy session at the undulating circuit outside Austin. "The last lap wasn't the best, Carlos did a better job today and deserves to be on pole," said Leclerc. "I'm starting a bit further back because of the penalty but the goal is to try and come back to the front as quick as possible." Ferrari need to score 19 points more than Red Bull, who have won the last seven races, to keep the constructors' championship alive with three rounds remaining. Verstappen's Mexican team mate Sergio Perez was fourth fastest but has a five-place grid penalty, moving Mercedes seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton up to third with team mate George Russell fourth. Perez, who should start ninth, is battling Leclerc for second overall in the championship and is just a point clear of the Ferrari driver, making for another compelling sub-plot on Sunday. Hamilton had been quicker than Verstappen, and slower only than the two Ferraris, after the first flying laps but then made a mistake and could not improve his time. Canadian Lance Stroll will line up on the third row in fifth for Aston Martin with Lando Norris alongside in the McLaren. Alfa Romeo's Valtteri Bottas and Williams' Alex Albon filled the fourth row, after Alpine's Fernando Alonso took a drop from ninth. Aston Martin's four times world champion Sebastian Vettel, who won his titles with Red Bull, starts 10th.
