Summary
Lewis Hamilton led final practice at Austin in 1:34.893, edging Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc before qualifying at the United States Grand Prix.
Track limits again dominated the session, wiping out several quick laps for Leclerc, Lando Norris and others after more than 200 violations were recorded on Friday.
Mercedes briefly looked capable of a one-two after Kimi Antonelli climbed as high as fourth on a clean lap, while George Russell also showed pace despite an earlier deleted time.
Further disruption came from traffic and penalties: Hamilton complained about Gabriel Bortoleto on the racing line, while Bortoleto and Franco Colapinto already carry 20-place and 10-place grid drops.
