Max Verstappen wins the Las Vegas Grand Prix! He stays alive in the title race for now.

Lando Norris holds on for P2, 2.8s ahead of George Russell, with Oscar Piastri fourth and Kimi Antonelli an excellent fifth despite a penalty

Norris is slow! Only two laps to go and Russell is 2.5s quicker on the last lap... #F1 #LasVegasGP
November 23, 2025 at 5:23 AM
Antonelli is quick despite doing almost the entire race on a set of hard tyres. He's pulling away from Sainz (who is P7) and is now 5.6s ahead, with a five-second time penalty to come #F1 #LasVegasGP
November 23, 2025 at 5:20 AM
Russell is struggling a bit right now, so Antonelli keeping Piastri and Leclerc at bay is helping that gap not come down too much #F1 #LasVegasGP
November 23, 2025 at 5:11 AM
Top three look pretty set with ten laps to go, as Verstappen keeps his lead at 5.5s and Russell drops about the same gap back from Norris #F1 #LasVegasGP
November 23, 2025 at 5:09 AM
Piastri attacks Antonelli with DRS but Antonelli holds him off, and a big slide in Turn 14 then puts Leclerc right on the back of Piastri. Good three-way fight for P4 on the track (but Antonelli has a penalty) #F1 #LasVegasGP

Norris really ramping up the pace. His last lap was 0.8s quicker than Russell and 0.7s faster than Verstappen. He's in DRS range of Russell now #F1 #LasVegasGP
November 23, 2025 at 4:58 AM
Another fastest lap for Norris and he takes 0.7s out of Russell ahead of him. Gap down to 1.9s #F1 #LasVegasGP
