Lando Norris has expressed he is “proud” that McLaren has taken the Formula 1 title fight in 2024 to this stage based on Max Verstappen’s earlier-season dominance. Verstappen has his initial chance to seal the deal in Las Vegas as he will line up ahead of Norris, who must outscore the Dutchman to prolong the championship race.

Max Verstappen has the chance to add to one of the most entertaining Formula One seasons in recent memory by becoming a four-time World Drivers’ Champion on Saturday at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Pierre Gasly followed up his Sao Paulo podium with an impressive lap in qualifying to put himself third for the Las Vegas Grand Prix. No one would have been expecting Alpine to repeat their heroics of Brazil but they have given themselves a chance to do just that with Gasly out-qualified only by Carlos Sainz and polesitter George Russell.
