Charles Leclerc expressed mixed emotions after finishing second in the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Although he overtook Sergio Perez on the final lap, he was disappointed not to win from pole position again. Leclerc has secured pole position five times this year, bringing his career total to 23. However, his last victory was in the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix. The race in Las Vegas was impacted by a safety car, which put Leclerc in a battle with both Red Bull drivers. He managed to pass Perez for second place with a strong move at the end of the final lap. Leclerc believes that without the safety car, he could have won the race, as his team had done a good job managing their tire strategy. Despite the disappointment, he found the last part of the race extremely fun and enjoyed the adrenaline it brought. Leclerc also believes that the battle between the drivers showcased the potential of the Las Vegas circuit as a racing venue and was happy that it ended that way after a challenging weekend.
