Sergio Perez is on the verge of securing second place in the Drivers’ Championship – but how can he do so at the Las Vegas Grand Prix?
“Sergio Perez has a chance to finish in second place in the Drivers’ Championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. If he achieves this, it will be a historic moment for Red Bull as they will have a 1-2 finish in the championship for the first time in Formula 1. Lewis Hamilton is currently Perez’s main rival for second place, as Mercedes aims to secure second place in the Constructors’ Championship ahead of Ferrari. Hamilton has faced challenges in recent races, including crashing out in Qatar and being disqualified in the United States. Perez currently holds a 32-point lead over Hamilton, meaning Hamilton needs to outscore him by at least six points in order to move into second place. Perez must also finish in the top 10 to secure his position. The extra point for the fastest lap could also play a role in the championship standings. Both Hamilton and Perez faced difficulties in qualifying, but they will start the race in 10th and 12th places respectively.”
