Lewis Hamilton will start the US Grand Prix on pole position as he seeks to wrap up a fifth world title.
The Mercedes driver beat title rival Sebastian Vettel by 0.061 seconds but the German will be demoted to fifth on the grid because of a penalty.
Hamilton will clinch the title on Sunday if he wins the race and Vettel finishes lower than second.
Potentially crucially for Vettel, his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen starts second, ahead of the second Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas.
Vettel will also be behind the Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo, who qualified fifth but will be promoted to fourth by the German's penalty, which was given for failing to slow down sufficiently under red flags during practice.

What a Race !
Great job from Max too !

A total abundance of caution from Hamilton's strategy guys today. Early stop, then switching to 2-stop as he scrubbed his tires behind Kimi, then giving Max tons of room. It's the safe play to win his 5th title next time out.
