F1 next heads to the famous Sin City strip for the second edition of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and round 22 of the 2024 season.
Max Verstappen is on the cusp of a fourth successive world championship after his masterful drive in the wet at the last race in Brazil. With a 62-point advantage over Lando Norris with three races remaining, the Dutchman can clinch the title in Vegas if he finishes above the McLaren driver.
Lewis Hamilton will be eyeing a strong showing after a weekend to forget in Sao Paulo, as his time as a Mercedes driver nears its end before his 2025 move to Ferrari.
Verstappen won last year’s inaugural race in Vegas, when Charles Leclerc claimed second place on the last lap with an overtake on Sergio Perez.

F1 Las Vegas GP LIVE: Q3 delayed!
There’s a lot of debris on track after that Colapinto crash, which is slowly being lowered onto the truck!
But it’s in pieces. Oh, what a nightmare for Williams!
Q3 is delayed. It’s not just the track which needs to be cleaned up, but the barrier probably needs fixing after Colapinto’s big impact!

F1 Las Vegas GP LIVE: Colapinto crash
The medical car was automatically deployed with Colapinto’s crash over 25G.
He looks OK and is out of the car all fine, but he must be despondent given he’s chasing a seat at Red Bull for next year! Could that make a difference?
Anyhow, the Williams team have some work to do overnight I’m afraid!
