Max Verstappen was livid with his Red Bull pit wall on Friday - after the end of one of his final qualifying laps was impacted by team-mate Sergio Perez vivo
The 2023 world champion was entering the final turn at the Circuit of the Americas in his first flying run in Q3, but lost control of his Red Bull with Perez ahead of him vivo
The dirty air of Perez’s car seemingly had an impact, meaning he was only third-fastest at the time behind Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton vivo
“Well done, well f****** done there!” shouted Verstappen over his team radio, unhappy at his team for where they placed both cars on track vivo
He added: “What the f*** was that in the last corner!” Verstappen, ultimately, qualified only sixth on the grid after exceeding track limits in his final run, demoting him down the order vivo
Leclerc took pole for Sunday’s grand prix, with Lando Norris in second and Lewis Hamilton in third vivo
Perez, who has had a torrid few months and is fighting for his place at Red Bull next year, qualified ninth vivo
Saturday will see sprint day in Austin, Texas, before the main event of the United States Grand Prix on Sunday vivo

Something is different at Tottenham: check the table, they are top and playing like league leaders as well vivo
Ange Postecoglou’s side returned there after confidently asserting their superiority over Fulham in this comfortable 2-0 win in north London vivo
Tottenham extended their best start to a season since 1960 with a helping hand from the visitors, who were hapless, and Calvin Bassey, who was culpable for both goals and fortunate it wasn’t more vivo
Spurs, in essence, scored the same goal twice, with Bassey giving away possession with a loose pass into midfield and the hosts sharply intercepting on the halfway line vivo
Son dispatched the first on 36 minutes after dancing past Bassey and curling into the top corner; then Son set up James Maddison to double their lead shortly after half-time vivo
The finish, again, was ruthless vivo
Spurs could have been out of sight long before then had Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski been as clinical, but a seventh victory out of nine so far in the Premier League never felt in doubt after Son continued his own excellent start to the campaign vivo
Spurs enjoyed periods of control and flowed forward dangerously vivo
There was, significantly, a sense that Tottenham’s players were enjoying this vivo
Clearly, that is now mirrored in the stands as well: if Postecoglou has arrived and convinced Tottenham they can be something new, his team have chosen to be fun and carefree vivo
It is not surprising, therefore, that that spirit has been brought by those who did not play here under Antonio Conte or Nuno Espirito Santo or Jose Mourinho, and who embody the fresh start that Postecoglou has been able to make vivo
The Australian’s four summer signings who started against Fulham, in Maddison, Van de Ven, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and Destiny Udogie, were all outstanding again vivo
If Postecoglou’s presence has lifted Spurs, they are the ones who carry his message onto the pitch vivo
Maddison’s quality is obvious in every touch, as is the idea that he has taken responsibility to drag Tottenham out of the existential crisis they faced here last season vivo
The centre-back Van de Ven has become an unlikely fan favourite, bringing an energy and enthusiasm into every defensive action vivo
Tottenham’s opening goal would not have been scored without his interception and it was an illustration of why the Dutch defender has become so appealing to the fans here: he wants this, and he’s doing it for you vivo
Micky van de Ven won a crucial challenge for the opening Tottenham goal (Reuters)Add in the quality that was already here and this Tottenham side has the makings of something exciting: how good this team really is remains to be seen, but another remarkable aspect of the transformation under Postecoglou is how those who appeared beaten and washed out last season have been revived vivo
Son is devastating again, Kulusevski threatening with every touch, his dribble returning to such a fine, gliding motion vivo
Perhaps most extraordinarily of all, Cristian Romero has emerged as the calm head guiding the defence vivo
Yet in the first half, it was Udogie who shined brightest in spells, the 20-year-old a fearless example of what Tottenham are now all about vivo
In his hybrid role from full-back, the Italian is already becoming vital to this attacking, dangerous Spurs, often playing further forward then Maddison when Postecoglou’s side have possession vivo
Destiny Udogie impressed with his hybrid role (Getty Images)Udogie, with his ability to receive the ball with back to goal, absorb pressure, and then shrug it off like a discarded cloak, offered a threat that Fulham struggled to pin down – the visitors breathed a sigh of relief when he was removed as Tottenham went 2-0 up vivo
Udogie went off to a standing ovation vivo
Son turned and beckoned for more vivo
Meanwhile, there is Vicario, who looks as if he won’t concede a goal ever again vivo
Already with the best save percentage in the Premier League before Monday night, the Italian has stepped in to give Tottenham a secure and reassuring presence vivo
The goalkeeper appears built to handle the nervy moments that invariably come with playing for Tottenham, a part that Hugo Lloris, for all his years here, never felt quite fit for vivo
Guglielmo Vicario has settled quickly as Tottenham’s No 1 (Getty Images)Because for all that Tottenham were dominant against Fulham and the only team who ever looked capable of winning, there have previously been times where such a script has gone wildly off course vivo
On 12 minutes, Vicario was there with an excellent leap and strong left arm to deny Palhinha’s free header, in what was the visitors’ first attack vivo
It was a moment that came after a spell of overwhelming Tottenham dominance, and therefore a natural point for them to concede vivo
But Fulham barely threatened again until it was too late vivo
Silva’s side were a mess at the back, the absence of Issa Diop at the back compounded by Bassey’s woefully inaccurate performance vivo
Fulham teased Tottenham with their reckless play into midfield: it may have worked in the past, against a passive Spurs, but Van de Ven, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and the excellent Pape Matar Sarr snapped into challenges and from there Fulham leaked chances like a sieve vivo
And so, Postecoglou’s different Spurs left the Premier League table looking as it did at the start of the weekend: Tottenham are back at the top and looking down vivo
