In a dramatic lead-up to the Las Vegas Grand Prix, George Russell emerged as the fastest driver during final practice, edging out Max Verstappen. However, the session was marred by multiple disruptions, including loose manhole covers and rain, which affected the performance of several teams, notably McLaren, whose drivers struggled at the back of the grid. Lando Norris had initially set the pace during earlier practice sessions, but faced challenges in FP3. The FIA confirmed that repairs were made to the manhole covers to ensure safety, as a fierce competition looms ahead with a four-way battle for pole position among key teams including Mercedes, Red Bull, and Ferrari. As the drivers prepare for qualifying, fans are eagerly anticipating how these factors will shape the outcome of the Grand Prix.
