The newly-croཧwned three-time world champion caught Perez at the final corner at the Circuit of the Amer꧃icas during his first run of Q3, and was left only third-fastest after getting stuck in his teammate’s dirty air. 

Verstappen could not hi🌊de his fury as he vented over team radio. 

“Well done, well f****** done there!” Verstappen angrily sh🐻outed. 

“What the f*** was that in the last co﷽rner? F****** b*******.” 

Things would get even worse for Verstappen on a scrappy final lap littered by uncharacteristic errors.&nbsꦺp;

Despite running too wide through the first corner, Verstappen appeared to snatch pole position away from Ferrari’s Charles L💜eclerc by 0.005s, only to fall foul of track limits at Turn 19.&nbs💟p;

♛The Dutchman’s lap was deleted, gifting pole for Sunday's grand p🌱rix to Leclerc. 

"I knew in T𝔍urn 19 t✤hat it was going to be a close call," Verstappen explained. 

"I൲ had a little mistake in Turn 1, so had to really push for it in the rest of the lap.

"I didn't even understeer, I just trie𝔉d to maximise the corner and I misjudged it by a little꧒ bit. 

“It's very fine margins when you are pushing to the limit. It's 💦unfortunate but it makes Sunday more fun."
