The Mercedes driver had eclipsed Verstappen's earlier pace-setting time and looked set for another pole appearance before the Dutchman leapfrogged back in front.

Post update

Very sad news for Red Bull on a weekend that could see them achieve the big constructors' prize. A reminder that Red Bull can win their first team trophy since 2013 off the back of Max Verstappen's triumph in Japan, if either the Dutchman or Sergio Perez to win the race in Austin. They can also clinch it with a P3 and P4 finish, or if they avoid being outscored by rivals Ferrari by 19 points. Posted at 21:3621:36

Red Bull breach ' constitutes cheating' - Brown

Andrew Benson BBC Sport’s chief F1 writer in AustinGetty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images McLaren F1 boss Zak Brown has written a letter to governing body the FIA in which he says Red Bull breaking the budget cap "constitutes cheating". Brown calls for penalties that will hit Red Bull financially and on the track. "Any team who have overspent have gained an unfair advantage both in the current and following year's car development," he writes. Brown adds the FIA should "communicate subsequent action and penalties at pace to maintain the integrity of F1". The letter, which has been seen by BBC Sport, is dated 12 October and is addressed to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, and copied to F1 president Stefano Domenicali.

Team principal Christian Horner said that "what is in contention is a couple of hundred thousand dollars" in the team's financial submissions for 2021. Governing body the FIA has offered Red Bull a so-called breach agreement detailing a suggested penalty. Horner said Red Bull were in talks over this and "wanted closure on 2021".
