Formula 1 has taken over Las Vegas for the second straight year as the 22nd round of its world championship will be staged on and around the iconic strip.
Triple world champion Max Verstappen can clinch his fourth straight world drivers’ championship by simply finishing in front of McLaren’s Lando Norris, who trails the Red Bull ace by 62 points with three race weekends remaining. The two line up alongside each other in Row 3 of the starting grid with Verstappen qualifying fifth and Norris sixth time. Mercedes’ George Russell will start from the pole position, followed by Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, Alpine’s Pierre Gasly and Sainz’s teammate Charles Leclerc. Verstappen won last year’s event, the first on the Las Vegas strip circuit and first in the city in more than 41 years.
