Hamilton, who must beat Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg at the Circuit of the Americas on Sunday to close a 33-point deficit, was comfortably fastest. The world champion ended up 0.315 seconds quicker than Rosberg after being fastest throughout the session. Red Bull's Max Verstappen was third fastest but two seconds off the pace. The Dutchman, however, set his fastest time on the medium tyre while Mercedes used the soft, which is in the region of a second a lap faster.
