在美国大奖赛排位赛中位列第二后，维斯塔潘表示，对自己的表现“没必要微笑、也没必要特别高兴”。第三节排位赛（Q3）中缺乏抓地力，使他无法争夺杆位，杆位由梅赛德斯的安东内利获得。
这位红牛车手在美洲赛道最终落后这位年轻的意大利车手0.179秒，并且仅领先第三名的队友伊萨克·哈贾尔0.036秒——这是哈贾尔迄今为止最好的排位赛成绩。但尽管这位荷兰车手在排位赛早些时候看起来是杆位的有力争夺者，却因意外缺乏抓地力而未能如愿。
“第一节和第二节排位赛我感觉真的很好。我的意思是，我在第二节排位赛的第一圈用的是旧胎，”他说。“所以当我进入第三节排位赛时，我抱有很高的期望，但不幸的是，感觉就是很差。就像我并没有真正获得我想要的抓地力，所以我在最后一段无法像我希望的那样依靠后轮，这让我损失了太多时间。”
“然后我的意思是，当你看看成绩表，你从第二位发车，这很好，是个不错的结果，但我本希望更多，这次就是没能做到。但如果，比如说，排位赛感觉不太好，然后还能拿到第二名，我会接受的。但没必要为此就微笑并超级开心。”
他在第二节排位赛只跑了六圈以节省轮胎，但否认了从旧胎换到新胎是罪魁祸首的说法。
“正常情况下没问题。我以前做过很多次了。我甚至有一次只用两套轮胎就完成了排位赛，”他透露。“所以是的，无法解释为什么在Q3就是没能凑到一起，或者除了最后一圈之外，我认为每个人都在为圈速挣扎。但这是我们必须研究的事情，因为当然很奇怪，你在一套用过的轮胎上感觉最好。”
这对红牛来说仍然是一个强劲的成绩，哈贾尔在Q2用旧胎感觉也不错，紧随其后排在第三。
维斯塔潘是本周末这条赛道最激烈的批评者，他在周四将COTA的颠簸描述为“不可接受”和“失控”。从第一排发车，他将有机会在进入1号弯的上坡路段攻击安东内利，那里正是颠簸最严重的地方。
维斯塔潘以221分位列积分榜第四，在马来西亚和新加坡获胜后，他正在追逐三连胜。

Max Verstappen refuses to celebrate US GP qualifying result: 'No need to smile'
Max Verstappen was left frustrated after qualifying second behind Kimi Antonelli for the United States Grand Prix
For Red Bull fans. Keeping watch on Red Bull Racing, with F1 news, driver updates, technical insight and race analysis from Milton Keynes.
After qualifying second for the United States Grand Prix, Max Verstappen has said there is "no need to smile and be super happy" about his performance. A lack of grip in Q3 left him unable to fight for pole, which instead went to Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli.
The Red Bull driver ended up 0.179 seconds behind the young Italian at the Circuit of the Americas, and only 0.036s ahead of team-mate Isack Hadjar in third - his best qualifying result yet. But while the Dutchman was looking to be a pole contender earlier in the session, an unexpected lack of grip left him wanting more.
“Q1 and Q2 I felt really good. I mean, I did my first lap in Q2 just on a used set," he said. "So when I went to Q3, I had high hopes, but unfortunately, it just felt bad. Like I just didn’t really have the grip that I wanted, so I couldn’t lean on the rear that I wanted in the final sector and that just cost me too much time.
"And then I mean, when you look at the sheets and you are starting P2 it's nice and it’s a good result, but I was hoping for more and this was just not it. But if it’s, let’s say, not a great feeling in qualifying and then that’s a P2, I’ll take it. But there’s no need to then smile and be super happy about it.”
He ran only six laps in Q2 to save tyres, but rejected the suggestion that the switch from used to fresh rubber was to blame.
“No problem normally. I’ve done that many times before. I’ve even qualified once with only two sets," he revealed. "So yeah, there is no explanation why in Q3 it just didn’t come together, or apart from the last lap where I think everyone struggled for lap time. But it’s something that we have to look at because it’s very odd of course that you have, let’s say, the best feeling on a used set.”
It is still a strong result for Red Bull, with Hadjar, who also felt good on used tyres in Q2, directly behind him in third.
Verstappen has been the circuit’s loudest critic this weekend, after describing the bumps at COTA as “unacceptable” and “out of control” on Thursday. From the front row, he will have the chance to attack Antonelli up the hill into Turn 1, where the worst of those bumps sit.
Verstappen, fourth in the standings on 221 points, is chasing a third straight victory after success in Malaysia and Singapore.
