Beaten last year by Ferrari after a series of victories started in 2014, Mercedes could take his revenge with Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes) on pole in front Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari). Max Verstappen (Red Bull) and Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) will also have their chance starting from the second row.

Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) will have more difficulty fighting at the front by starting from 5th place in front Alexander albon (Red Bull), the first driver on soft tires, but the Briton will only need an 8th place (or 9th place with the best lap in the race) to celebrate a 6th title.

Pierre Gasly (Toro Rosso) will have his chances of scoring points starting in 10th place. It will be harder for Romain Grosjean (Haas) 15th on the grid.

The start of the US GP will be at 20:10 p.m. French time.
