Lando Norris took second, George Russell third and Oscar Piastri fourth
Max Verstappen has won the Las Vegas Grand Prix with a dominant drive that was enough to just keep his world championship hopes alive. Title leader Lando Norris took second and with his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri in fourth he managed to put another six points on him, with the Australian too just hanging on to his title chances.
With the second place, Norris, while he will not countenance allowing the thought of it to cloud his approach, must be considered world champion in waiting. He now leads Piastri by 30 points; 58 remain on the table from the final two meetings in Qatar, which includes a sprint race, and Abu Dhabi. If Norris comes out of the meeting in Doha with a 26 point lead he will seal the championship there. As it stands finishing in front of Piastri and Verstappen in both races in Qatar would be enough.
