Here are the complete qualifying results from the Las Vegas Strip Circuit in Nevada, where a thrilling qualifying session played out.

Q2 Results:

It was a Mercedes on top again in Q2, with Hamilton putting in a strong lap at the chequered flag to set a 1:32.567.

With Hamilton quickest ahead of Sainz and Russell, the session was marred by a big accident for Franco Colapinto.

The Argentinean turned in slightly too early for Turn 16 and tapped the inside wall, slamming hard into the wall on the outside as a result.

Skating down the track, the Williams was torn apart in what will be another huge rebuild job for the Grove-based squad, while the Argentinean climbed clear in obvious frustration.

With Colapinto out in 14th, the other Q2 eliminations were Alpine’s Esteban Ocon in 11th, and Haas’ Kevin Magnussen in 12th.

Zhou Guanyu was 13th for Sauber, with Liam Lawson in 15th for VCARB.

Verstappen underlined Red Bull’s improvements from practice by setting the quickest time as Q1 entered its closing stages, with the Dutch driver only undone by the final runs of Russell and Hamilton.

With the Mercedes leading 1-2, Verstappen slotted into third ahead of Leclerc and Piastri, but there was less good news for the other side of the Red Bull garage.

Perez’s final lap only scraped him into Q2, with late improvements from Colapinto and Tsunoda pushing the Mexican back down into the elimination zone in 16th.

Joining Perez on the sidelines were the two Aston Martins – Alonso down in 17th and Stroll in 20th, with the Canadian only getting a single run right at the end following an ERS issue that meant his car was in pieces for most of the session.

Alex Albon was 18th for Williams, with Valtteri Bottas 19th for Sauber.
