"Brundle notes that the drivers aren't on the grid right now because it's too hot. It's Texas, after all. Share Martin Brundle is doing his grid walk alongside Glen Powell, an actor who'll be on Saturday Night Live next month. (I don't watch a lot of movies.) While Brundle usually chats with team personnel and celebrities, he's spending most of this walk explaining tire strategy to Powell, who interjects to note that a lot of Europeans are wearing cowboy hats, which makes him happy."
"Stroll is serving a five-place grid penalty but was spared the indignity of starting last when Hadjar crossed in qualifying. Share TV coverage is now showing how things look from the 251-foot tower overlooking the track. We're told that the wind is so strong that the tower is moving, which makes me wonder how quickly I could run down 419 steps."
Max Verstappen will start from pole position ahead of Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc. George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, and Oscar Piastri complete the top six. Kimi Antonelli, Oliver Bearman, Carlos Sainz, and Fernando Alonso round out the top ten. Lance Stroll serves a five-place grid penalty but avoids starting last after Isack Hadjar crossed in qualifying. Martin Brundle walks the grid with actor Glen Powell and spends time explaining tire strategy. Heat keeps drivers off the grid before the race. TV coverage shows the 251-foot tower swaying in strong wind. A hypothetical considers Verstappen overtaking both McLarens as a major comeback or collapse.
