Sebastian was eager to get going 15 years after his Formula One debut in the United States.

Lance well and truly got into the Texas spirit on Friday.

Free Practice One was a productive session for the team, with 42 laps on the board.

Lance showed great pace on Friday, finishing the first practice session in fourth.

FP2 was taken up by a Pirelli tyre test, with each driver testing new compounds ahead of 2023.

While the results in the session were irrelevant, the team and Pirelli picked up lots of useful data on the Prototype tyres for next year.

Sebastian and Lance both showed good pace in FP3, and looked set to deliver strong results in qualifying.

As the qualifying session got underway, both cars made it safely through Q1.

Lance got plenty of heat into his tyres and put in an awesome lap to make it into Q3.

Sebastian made a small mistake in Q2, but penalties for others moved him into the top 10 for the race.

Lance only did one flying lap in Q3, but it was a lap good enough for fifth on the grid.

Sebastian looked to move up the order in the Grand Prix from 10th on the grid.

Holding on to fifth in the race would be tricky with faster cars behind, but Lance was in a position to score plenty of points.

Sebastian and Lance both ran towards the front of the field in the early part of the Grand Prix.

Due to the timing of a Safety Car, Sebastian was able to jump Lance during the first pitstop sequence.

Sebastian headed Lance and Fernando Alonso on the first restart, but Lance and Alonso would make contact later in the lap.
