F1 USGP 2021 is set to be one of the highlights of the season as the picture was as clear as mud after the checkered flag fell at the end of the session. In stark contrast to the earlier sessions in which Mercedes was the pace, this time it was Red Bull who set the times at the front of the field.
Sergio Perez finished the session at the top again. However, it was not a representative order; Both Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen had to cancel their laps (which were about 3 tenths of a second faster than Perez) due to lane violations.
