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.
