Lewis Hamilton endured a difficult qualifying session in Las Vegas as he failed to advance into the final stage for just the third time this season.
Toto Wolff has explained that Lewis Hamilton struggled with generating tyre temperature during qualifying for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, resulting in his lack of pace. The low track temperatures contributed to the difficulty in achieving grip, with Hamilton and Sergio Perez both being eliminated in Q1. The McLarens and Ferraris displayed impressive performances with the Ferraris half a second ahead of everyone else. There are concerns that drivers may suffer from graining in the opening stages of the race due to the low track temperatures. Despite this, Wolff has confidence in George Russell’s ability to manage the situation and remain patient until the worst part of the tyres go.
