Charles Leclerc led a Ferrari one-two in a bizarrely late second Formula 1 practice session at the Las Vegas Grand Prix that took place with no fans present
In a late second Formula 1 practice session at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc led a Ferrari one-two with a time of 1m35.265s, beating his teammate Carlos Sainz by 0.517s. The session was delayed for two and a half hours due to track repairs after a disastrous start to the weekend, in which FP1 was abandoned after just eight minutes. The track repairs were necessary because Carlos Sainz and Esteban Ocon damaged their cars when a manhole cover failed. Due to the repairs and lack of running in FP1, the FIA extended FP2 to a 90-minute session, which took place without any visible problems on the track surface. However, the session occurred without fans present, as the grandstands and fan areas were closed for logistical reasons. Despite the unusual circumstances, Leclerc emerged as the fastest driver, followed by Sainz and Fernando Alonso in third place.
