Hamilton leads Mercedes domination in Las Vegas dustbowl
“Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell dominated the first practice session of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, with Hamilton finishing nearly four-tenths of a second ahead of Russell. Despite Hamilton’s final lap being 1:35.001s, slower than last year’s leading time set by Russell, he was almost a second ahead of Lando Norris in third place. Concerns arose early on about the dust on the circuit, affecting grip due to Las Vegas’ desert location. Times improved throughout the session, unlike previous years when FP1 was cut short. The session ended without incident, unlike last year’s fiasco that led to a delay in FP2.”
