Having surrendered his lead in the 2025 F1 drivers championship last month in Texas, Australia’s Oscar Piastri goes into the third-last Grand Prix of the F1 season needing a major change of fortunes if he’s to catch his McLaren teammate Lando Norris.
Following a cold, wet and treacherous qualifying session on the streets of Las Vegas, the 24-year-old from Melbourne will start from the third row of the grid in fifth position, after only narrowly sneaking into Q3.
Lando Norris and Max Verstappen will start from the front row of the grid.
Raced over 50 x 6.2km laps through the heart of Las Vegas, the exciting 17-turn street circuit winds its way past iconic locations like Caesars Palace, the Bellagio and the Venetian.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix starts at 8pm on Saturday night local time, which is 3pm Sunday afternoon (AEDT).
