Overview

  • Lando Norris secured pole after a rain-hit qualifying, with Max Verstappen alongside and Carlos Sainz third on the Las Vegas street circuit.
  • Franco Colapinto advanced to Q2 and pulled off a dramatic save but a late oversteer error left him 15th; teammate Pierre Gasly starts 10th.
  • The FIA fined Alpine €5,000 for using tyres electronically returned after FP3, with the penalty limited to a monetary sanction.
  • The race starts at 01:00 in Argentina and will air on Fox Sports and Disney+ Premium, with forecasts pointing to a dry, low‑temperature run that stresses tyre warm‑up.
  • Title picture: Norris leads the standings on 390 points ahead of Oscar Piastri (366) and Verstappen (341) with Qatar and Abu Dhabi after Las Vegas.
