The Qualifying round put Verstappen in the third row in P5 along with Lando Norris in P6, his only rival for the Championship. The post F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix: Last practice and qualifying results appeared first on The Manual.

F1 knew it couldn’t lean on quite the same intrigue for its second visit to Las Vegas. It also couldn’t realistically expect to repeat the money-spinning success of year one, which generated half a billion dollars for the local economy and $77 million in tax revenue, outstripping all expectations.

Lewis Hamilton topped the timings in the second free practice session, just as he did in FP1, at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. With temperatures resembling closer to what is expected for quali, FP2 was to be a crucial session for the teams ahead of the rest of the weekend.
