Ferrari had another difficult qualifying session. Charles Leclerc finished ninth, while Lewis Hamilton was already eliminated in Q1, after the seven-time world champion finished 20th..

Yuki Tsunoda was once again eliminated early on. After the session, Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies explained that the Japanese driver's Q1 exit was the team's mistake.

Ahead of the Las Vegas GP, Norris leads his teammate Piastri by 24 points, and Verstappen by 49 points in the standings.

Should the Briton outscore the Red Bull Racing driver by 10 points or more, Verstappen would be mathematically eliminated from the title battle.
