To Mercedes the double at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, to Max Verstappen the title of world champion and to Ferrari the excellent operation in the constructors' ranking. If George Russell won in the United States on Sunday, November 24, ahead of his compatriot Lewis Hamilton, the Italian team reduced the gap with McLaren at the top of the world championship.
Thanks to the 3e et 4e places of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, Ferrari took 12 points from the British team, a notch below this weekend with the 6e et 7e positions of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Lead by Sergio Pérez (10e), the Austrian team Red Bull now seems out of contention for the title, although there are two Grands Prix remaining in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
While Pierre Gasly had completed a brilliant qualifying session the day before, starting 3e on the starting grid, the Frenchman was forced to retire, losing any chance of scoring points. Alpine therefore downgraded to 7e place in the general classification, Haas passing him by one point thanks to 8e like Nico Hulkenberg.
