00:00Here come the lights in Vegas and we're underway and racing down to turn number one. Lando Norris is going
00:06to need the job and it's super aggressive from the pole sitter who's off, who's wide. The lead for Max
00:12Verstappen as Lando Norris rejoins. He went bold but Verstappen got by and now moving up around the outside and
00:20trying to take P2 away.
00:21George Russell climbing up to second position. Crucial couple of meters for the Grand Prix for Lando Norris who wants
00:28P2. It's dirty, dusty and he can't go late on the brakes. It's Max Verstappen. George Russell, the pole sitter,
00:35is down to third. Lando Norris has lost places. Oscar Piastri's P7 right now. He's lost a couple as well.
00:41Hadjar up to P5. There's a move for Charles Leclerc. That's for ninth position. Laid on the brakes into turn
00:4714 as we go over the line. Verstappen, Russell Norris is the top three in the Grand Prix.
00:54Norris who just missed his break point. So busy was he to get to the inside and Verstappen comes through.
00:59Sensational move this from Russell as well around the outside.
01:04What's Portoleto going to see as he heads down? Oh my word. Clobbers into the side of the Aston Martin.
01:11And round went Pierre Gasly. That's how he lost seven places. Well, there's no question who was the cause of
01:16that accident.
01:17Portoleto completely misjudged his braking. Now on board with Liam Lawson. And then the McLaren.
01:22Oh, wow. How lucky was Piastri that that was a wheel-to-wheel contact.
01:28So Antonelli's got a five-second penalty for a false start. He's creeping.
01:32You can see the wheels moving before the lights went out.
01:36Russell will be doing everything he can to stay within a DRS zone of Verstappen.
01:41Oh, damage for Lawson. And Piastri gets by. Lawson with front damage to the car. And Piastri is up to
01:50P6.
01:53Late-breaking move for Charles Leclerc. And he gets past the Haas. The Ferrari easing by and up to P7.
02:00Crucial move for his Grand Prix. Next car up the road. One of the championship contenders, Oscar Piastri.
02:07Here we go for a Ferrari with a pass.
02:10It's turning into pass or be passed for Oscar Piastri.
02:13Was trying to line up the move on Isaac Hadjar.
02:15Instead opens the door for Charles Leclerc.
02:18And that Ferrari is rapid as we build up to 212 miles per hour.
02:23Can Leclerc roar by and get past Piastri? He can.
02:26And Piastri's difficult Saturday night goes from bad to worse.
02:32He's got grip. He's got speed. And has he got a chance for another position?
02:36Late on the brakes. Easing to the inside. And taking P5.
02:40Two passes in two laps for Charles Leclerc. Who's up to fifth position.
02:49Wow. Hamilton very deep there.
02:51And that's why the contact was made. So that's why Albon's gone into the pits.
02:56Alex Albon has a five second penalty for causing a collision.
03:00He is staring at six Grand Prix in a row without points.
03:05Green flag is flying once again in Las Vegas.
03:08We're racing. Chance for Oscar Piastri.
03:10Top of your picture. Papaya Carr moving by.
03:13Reacting well. And is this the chance to get past?
03:15It is. And now we'll hug the inside line.
03:18Maybe run over some of that debris that wasn't quite cleared.
03:20But Piastri needed to get past and did so.
03:24P6 for the Australian driver.
03:27Sainz is trying to cover off Piastri then.
03:29This will be very close.
03:31Shorter distance for Sainz.
03:33But he's got to get the tyres fired up.
03:34Yeah. That's going to be key.
03:36Especially in a long corner here.
03:37And you can see the McLaren all over the back of the Williams.
03:41With the DRS.
03:42Sainz makes the defensive move.
03:44But he's boxed in. And Piastri's going to get by.
03:47Piastri had one opportunity to make that work.
03:49He took it. And he clears the Williams.
03:52He really needed that one.
03:53Got the move done.
03:55The problem for Norris is that not putting pressure on Russell means that Russell can have an easier time on
04:00his tyres as well.
04:01And look after them.
04:02It's a difficult balance of trying to attack to make the guy ahead use the tyres.
04:08Piastri's through.
04:08Leclerc's going to have the same issue here with Carlos Sainz on the hotter hard tyres.
04:13Yeah.
04:13They come out of the blankets at a lower temperature than operating on the racetrack.
04:18And Sainz is unable to make the impression.
04:21So Charles Leclerc getting track position over Carlos Sainz.
04:24Piastri ahead of the pair of them.
04:28Well, I can't say that.
04:29Norris can be quick.
04:30I do all I can from the 10th problem.
04:32I don't want to do this stupid.
04:33Christian Logan.
04:36Do you want me to DRS or try to overtake him?
04:39Overtake him.
04:40We're going to go get Max.
04:40We're heading to 200 miles an hour and turn 14.
04:44DRS will open for Lando Norris.
04:47And he stays on the outside line.
04:49Russell will hug the apex of the corner or try to.
04:52He can't.
04:53Norris straight by up to second position.
04:56And now he will try and do what his race engineer told him and chase down Max Verstappen.
05:04Antonelli in fourth position.
05:06The contact between these three that are running line of stern.
05:09That's laid on the brakes for Antonelli.
05:11Hanging on to this one.
05:12And you can see sliding around and potentially opening the door for another chance for Charles Leclerc is Oscar Piastri.
05:19Piastri unable to find a way through.
05:24Interesting information that Red Bull have heard that we have not heard.
05:27Which is Lando Norris nursing a problem.
05:31And suddenly he's 13 seconds away from the race lead.
05:37Russell was three seconds quicker on the last lap.
05:40Norris lost no more time than he did the previous lap.
05:43So he may well get there.
05:44My information is that Lando Norris has been asked to lift and coast all the way to the flag.
05:49So they will be updating him on that gap.
05:51And it is being managed all the way to the checkered flag.
05:54So surely it's brakes again.
05:56Lifting coast is tire saving.
05:58It's brakes or it's fuel.
05:59There's been a safety car which will negate any fuel issues for them.
06:02So must be brake considerations that McLaren have.
06:05Well this is going to be an eighth consecutive podium finish for Max Verstappen.
06:10who is still a contender for the title.
06:14You cannot count him out.
06:16Heading to Qatar still with a chance.
06:19This is the 17th and final corner of the last lap.
06:23The Dutch driver will look up and see the checkered flag first.
06:27Max Verstappen wins the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
06:30His name up in lights once again.
06:33For second position it awaits.
06:36Red Bull have taken the win with Max Verstappen his sixth of the season.
06:41And lifting and coasting with a terrific position in the World Championship with two Grand Prix to go.
06:48Lando Norris hangs on.
06:50George Russell completes the podium.
06:52Kimi Antonelli with unbelievable speed.
06:55But a five second penalty.
06:57And it means as we go across the line it's Piastri in fourth.
07:01And Antonelli is listed in P5 ahead of Charles Leclerc by one tenth of a second.
07:09There's always something different here in Las Vegas.
07:12But that's really different.
07:14Looking good in the Lego Cadillac that will take the top three.
07:18I imagine to the Bellagio Fountains.
07:21We now have two weeks left to decide the Formula One World Championship in 2025.
07:27And thanks to his win tonight still three names in the mix.
07:31But advantage Lando Norris heading in to the final three races of the year.
07:36One sprint.
07:37Two Grand Prix.
07:38And it's all coming your way in the next two weeks as we close out this 24 round campaign.
07:44But the third Las Vegas Grand Prix has been won by Max Verstappen.
07:49He's second at this venue.
