"Lando Norris claimed pole position for McLaren at the Las Vegas Grand Prix with a superb lap in treacherous wet conditions on the street circuit in Nevada, and with it moved one step closer to winning his first Formula One world championship. The title race leader beat the Red Bull of Max Verstappen into second, but with his closest championship rival teammate Oscar Piastri only in fifth, Norris has the opportunity to further extend his advantage at the top of the standings."
"It [the full-wet tyre] was as bad as it gets, Hamilton said. I couldn't see anything. I think I hit the wall out at one point. I just couldn't even see the corners. Having shown real pace in the final practice session Hamilton was hugely disappointing once more in what has been a very trying first season with Ferrari. Today was amazing, he said. I just didn't get a lap at the end."
