Not quickest car but 'cool lap' cheers Norris

The McLaren driver clocked a best lap of 1min 32.330sec to outpace by by 0.031sec his Red Bull rival, who leads the title race by 54 points with six races remaining.

On the second row were Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc.

"It was a beautiful lap," said Norris, after claiming his first American pole and his fourth pole in five races as he seeks to overhaul Verstappen.

"We've been on the back foot pretty much the whole weekend.
