2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix results (Las Vegas Strip Circuit)
The race start of the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen has kept his world championship effort alive for another weekend, having won the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The Dutch driver snatched the lead away from Lando Norris on the first lap and never looked back as he claimed victory ahead of the McLaren driver.
Max Verstappen wins in Las Vegas
Lining up together on the front row, Norris and Verstappen went toe-to-toe into Turn 1 as the Dutch driver made a slightly stronger start to think about going up the inside of the McLaren.
Wise to Verstappen’s thinking, Norris moved across to cover but braked too late while trying to take a tighter angle into the corner. This resulted in him running wide, with Verstappen storming through into the lead, while George Russell capitalised on Norris’ dip in momentum to take second place.
This was how it remained for the entire first stint, with Verstappen edging out a small lead over Russell, who was the first of the trio to pit to take on the hard tyre.
Norris and Verstappen followed suit some five laps later and, following their return to the circuit, the McLaren man showed a clear edge in pace over Russell.
Quickly reeling in Russell, Norris overtook him and set off in pursuit of Verstappen, who had a six-second advantage at the time.
The pair traded fastest laps for the following 15 laps or so, before Norris’ pace dropped off significantly in the final four laps as an issue appeared to arise in his car.
Verstappen duly came home a comfortable winner, with Norris hanging on to take second place only to be disqualified in a post-race inspection, as too was Oscar Piasti.
George Russell was elevated to second ahead of Kimi Antonelli and Charles Leclerc.
The retirements were Williams’ Alex Albon, Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto, and Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll.
