Verstappen, Norris Favorites to Win F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix with Friday Night Qualifying Ahead
- Friday, Lando Norris took pole for the Las Vegas Grand Prix qualifying session, securing the top starting spot for Saturday night's Las Vegas Grand Prix.
- Persistent heavy rain made the circuit wet and very slippery in Las Vegas city, challenging drivers' grip and pace, though the rain is expected to clear before Saturday night's race.
- Max Verstappen, Red Bull driver, briefly topped before slipping to second, while Carlos Sainz Jr., Williams driver, surprised with third and Oscar Piastri, McLaren driver, qualified fifth after a yellow flag ended his pole bid.
- The result gives Norris a 24-point lead over McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri into Saturday night's race, marking his third consecutive pole since reclaiming championship control.
- With three races remaining, Piastri's lack of wins since August and Ferrari's Brazil DNFs raise pressure on drivers and teams as the season nears its close.
