Charles Leclerc tops both Friday practices at 2026 US Grand Prix

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc led both Friday sessions at the Circuit of the Americas, ending FP2 at 1:35.291. Formula 1 lists Kimi Antonelli 0.042 seconds back and Max Verstappen third. The Race notes that Verstappen lost a quicker FP1 lap to track limits and says later long-run averages tended to favor Red Bull and Mercedes over Ferrari.
