LIVE: Reaction as Charles Leclerc heads scruffy FP1 from Las Vegas

Follow along with all the action live from the first free practice session for the 2025 F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Lando Norris holds a comfortable buffer in his pursuit of a first F1 drivers' championship, leading Oscar Piastri by 24 points with only three rounds left. Max Verstappen remains in distant contention at 49 points behind.

Expect a tough weekend in Sin City as cool temperatures challenge the low-grip Las Vegas Strip Circuit. Mercedes, which dominated the event 12 months ago with a one-two from George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, will aim to replicate that form this year. Team principal Toto Wolff has been coy in the run-up, while Ferrari and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen are also likely to play their parts.

The Dutch driver claimed his fourth title in Nevada last season; while a repeat is unlikely this term, a strong round would keep alive his chances for a fifth consecutive crown. Follow along to the RacingNews365 live coverage of the first free practice from the Las Vegas Grand Prix below.
