Pierre Gasly took a surprise third for Alpine, one place ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
Lando Norris must outscore Max Verstappen by at least three points to extend the title battle to the penultimate race in Qatar, but the British driver will start one place behind the Dutchman in sixth.

Oh what a shame for Pierre Gasly!
After qualifying in third, his engine has blown and he retires from the race! No safety car, as he makes his way safely into the pit-lane.
At the front, Verstappen takes second from Red Bull teammate Perez – and Hamilton progress past Norris! Mercedes’ pace is maintaining in Vegas so far!
F1 Las Vegas GP LIVE: Lewis Hamilton pits (Lap 14/50)
06:28 , Kieran Jackson
Hamilton pits and is now right on the tail of Norris!
“How many positions have I lost?!” he says on team radio. But it’s actually worked out well for Hamilton!
George Russell retakes the lead, seven seconds ahead of Sergio Perez (yet to pit) in second!
F1 Las Vegas GP LIVE: Russell and Verstappen pit (Lap 13/50)

Oscar Piastri, meanwhile, has a five-second time penalty for parking in front of his grid box.
F1 Las Vegas GP LIVE: Charles Leclerc drops to P4! (Lap 9/50)
06:19 , Kieran Jackson
How odd!
Leclerc drops two places in one lap, behind Sainz and Verstappen – has he got a problem? Or are his tyres simply not working? Think it may be the latter!
Sainz up to P2, with Verstappen P3!
Norris does now get above Gasly to move up to fifth!

06:16 , Kieran Jackson
Really good work from George Russell here!
After defending strong from Leclerc, he has opened up a two-second lead at the front!

Max Verstappen gets it done down the back straight, with Gasly not even putting up a fight!
Meanwhile, Russell has to defend hard to keep the lead from Leclerc – who is right on his gearbox!

06:02 , Kieran Jackson
George Russell leads the cars around this Vegas circuit then for the formation lap!
The top-14 all start on medium tyres, with a one-stop strategy likely over this 50-lap grand prix, while Fernando Alonso in P16 surprisingly starts on soft tyres!

F1 Las Vegas GP LIVE: Pierre Gasly after qualifying P3
05:32 , Kieran Jackson
“It’s unbelievable, we didn’t think we could do that. An incredible lap, especially around this track. A lot of adrenaline and excitement. Really happy.
“I was getting cold in the car, I just wanted to get going. That last lap was the one that mattered. It felt great, great period for the team after the double podium in Brazil.”
How can Max Verstappen win the 2024 title?
05:27 , Kieran Jackson
There are now just 86 points available across the next three races in Vegas, Qatar (including the final sprint race of the season) and Abu Dhabi.
By the end of the weekend in Vegas, there will be just 60 points left to claim.
That means that if Verstappen simply finishes above Norris in Vegas, he will be crowned the 2024 champion. The Dutchman would also seal the title if both drivers fail to score a point.
Verstappen will also win the 2024 title if Norris does not outscore the Red Bull driver by more than two points.
As a result, Verstappen will be world champion in Sin City if:
-
If Norris is second and he finishes third with the fastest lap
-
If Norris is third and he finishes fourth with the fastest lap
-
If Norris is fourth without the fastest lap and he finishes fifth
-
If Norris is fifth without the fastest lap and he finishes sixth
-
If Norris is sixth without the fastest lap and he finishes seventh
-
If Norris is seventh without the fastest lap and he finishes eighth
-
If Norris is eighth without the fastest lap and he finishes ninth

PREVIEW: Las Vegas GP returns – with key ingredient present after topsy-turvy F1 debut
04:00 , Kieran Jackson
As fans trudged away from their expensive acquired seats on night one of the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, having seen just eight minutes of cars on track before “manhole gate”, one question sprung to mind: how could the sport come back for this?
Yet beyond all the fanfare which inevitably accompanied Formula One’s lavish return to Sin City last year, what actually saved the inaugural event was the Saturday night race itself. We had overtakes – 82 in fact, the most of any circuit during its debut grand prix – we had safety cars and we had last-lap drama. For a sport which veers too blatantly in the direction of spectacle at times, it was a refreshing nod to the drama the action on track can deliver.

Formula One is reportedly in talks with General Motors about an 11th team joining the grid in 2026.
F1 rejected Andretti’s bid in partnership with GM earlier this year, but did say a new offer for 2028 would be considered.

Seven-time F1 world champion Hamilton, who is leaving Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of the season, finished 10th in Sao Paulo and endured a disastrous weekend despite his favoured wet conditions.

“No chance [for pole]. The top three and four out of reach, Mercedes have been the quickest all weekend. Us and Red Bull a decent chunk behind, we expected a bit more than where we were. We’re struggling in every corner, it was too difficult and too much of a challenge with our car.
“I’ll do everything I can, I’m not going to give up until the end even though the chances are extremely slim. I’ll go out tomorrow, it’s a long race, we’re quick in the straights – hopefully that can come to our advantage.”
