Lando Norris in nightmare start at Las Vegas GP as F1 star taken out of race
Lando Norris had a nightmare start at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, losing out to Max Verstappen and George Russell on the opening lap after going off track while defending against Verstappen.
Oscar Piastri, from McLaren, also struggled, losing positions and making contact with Lawson, though the incident was later cleared by the stewards.
Despite this, a collision between Stroll and Bortoleto resulted in both drivers retiring early from the race.
Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton faced challenges, starting on hard tires and falling to 12th place during the chaotic opening stages.
Hamilton’s struggles were further compounded by what some called an ‘unacceptable’ penalty, leaving him at the back of the pack as the race progressed.
