And with that, I think I’m done.
Max Verstappen, again, reigns supreme. There was chaos. There were thrills, spills, and everything in between. But there was always Verstappen. Refusing to be denied again. Leclerc battled hard and stole second but, for him, the pole woes continue – just when will he be able to turn one of those fine qualifying performances into another appearance atop the podium? Perez is forced to make do with third-place but in finishing clear of Hamilton he’s all but guaranteed himself second-place in the driver’s championship.
Just one more race to go this season, with the eyes of the world now turning to the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi for the final race of the season next weekend.
My name’s been Joey Lynch, thank you ever so much for keeping up with the Vegas GP with me. I’ll leave you with Giles Richards’ full report. Thanks and success.

Verstappen lifts his 18th trophy of the season. We’re going to need to find some other kind of superlative because dominant isn’t really cutting it.
Your podium stars for the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix! 💫

Red Bull has now set the record for the most wins in a single season with 19, breaking Mercedes mark – only Ferrari on a single occasion denies them this season.
