Welcome to this live, if you are up early, you too, this Sunday morning to follow the Gand Prix in Las Vegas. George Russell starts on the front row this Sunday, but Carlos Sainz and Pierre Gasly are in ambush. Let's remember the stakes of this race: Max Verstappen has a good chance of being crowned world champion in Las Vegas. He starts for his part in fifth position.

Most of the cars are on medium tyres, while temperatures are cool this weekend in the “capital of sin”. Only Bottas and Perez are on hard, like Colapinto, who starts from the pit lane. Note the strange bet of Alonso, who opted for the soft ones. We will soon know if he made the right decision…
George Russell sets off as soon as the lights go out, followed by the rest of the peloton. Charles Leclerc made a very good start, immediately overtaking Pierre Gasly and Carlos Sainz to find himself in second place. The Monegasque is hungry for victory this Sunday. Lando Norris also has his teeth and is already attempting an attack on this first lap, sixth behind Max Verstappen. He seems to want to prevent the Dutchman from leaving Las Vegas with the title as much as possible…
(Far) behind, Sergio Perez takes the advantage over Alex Albon to try to make up for the painful delay caused by a poor qualifying session. Meanwhile, we pass the first lap, which means that DRS is now authorized. Ahead, George Russell tries to widen the gap at all costs.
Charles Leclerc storms for 1st place at the Las Vegas Grand Prix
Max Verstappen attacks Gasly on lap 4… and overtakes him without incident, thus taking 4th place. Meanwhile, it's another spectacle that Leclerc offers us, trying to take first place from Russell with audacity, from the outside. For the moment, the Briton remains in place. But Sainz is closing in behind. At the same time, we learned that a false start was noted by the commissioners for Oscar Piastri.
We are entitled to a replay of the start and we realize that there was tension between Magnussen and Lawson from the first moments of this Las Vegas Grand Prix.
