Drivers address weather concerns
After images of flooding in Las Vegas appeared online ahead of the weekend, multiple drivers addressed the possible weather conditions.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton said: "It’s gonna be really hard if it's wet. This is probably the slipperiest track that we go to in terms of the grip we have had in the last couple of years." Verstappen added: "If it rains, the tarmac is wet so it's a bit slippery. I'm not looking forward to that potentially. I prefer to just have a dry race. It's already hard enough to get everything working here - or understanding at least something.
"I prefer a bit more straightforward but if the track floods, maybe less practice is also not a bad thing.”
