Qualifying Highlights | 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix

Piastri's 15th has to get one in as well, is on a better lap, but so is everyone out there. Synoda's having a real tough time of it though.

Sainz finds himself in third, lock up for Behrmann, won't make the corner, stroll goes fastest. Piastri gets his lap in when he needed it to the barrier for Oliver Behrmann, skating deep into the runoff, the yellow flag is out. Verstappen goes to second place. Antonelli is now in the drop zone. 30 seconds to go. Alex Albon slowing the car down into the corner that we were talking about. Where the yellow flag is out, you can see it there. Now it's been withdrawn. Colopinto goes to fifth. Albon now in the drop zone. Needs a lap and he tags the wall! The mistake free run ends for the Formula One field. Albon in the drop zone,

tried to snake his way through, got greedy on the throttle and he breaks the front of the car. Hamilton's just behind him on the circuit and has to find an improvement. I think that was him flashing through there. 19th goes to 18th. Can't find it. Lewis Hamilton can't find it. Bortoletto gets back. Albon hitting the barrier and out of qualifying. Then it's Antonelli, Bortoletto, Lewis Hamilton second here last year, and Yuki Tsunoda, chequered flag, is out.

Russell goes fastest, Alonso had done so. Stroll and Alonso, both of them picking to run on the wets.

And Antonelli 17th. Yeah, and has to improve. Isn't on a great lap here. So Antonelli,

who's been flying this weekend, is in big danger. He is on to personal bests. Max Verstappen, we're continuing with him as he comes across the line. Verstappen goes up to second position. Antonelli pits. It is Albon, Antonelli, Bortoletto, Sonoda and Lewis Hamilton, second last year. Loads of pace around this circuit in the wet conditions is 20th and last. Here is the man from Melbourne, Oscar Piastri across the line. Oscar Piastri is going to be in now for a pressure lap.

Lando Norris trying to avoid that and he goes top. Piastri now having to deliver at the end of Q2.

He's got time for another lap, he's got fuel for another lap. You'd have thought if they've got the

calculations right. Oh my word! Franco Colopinto at the corner where he dropped it into the wall last year. Crucially keeps it out of the barrier and this session stays green now all of a Berman brilliant form recently to q3 Piastri trying to find the improvement in the middle sector this time He's got it Berman across the line Berman out in the second part of qualifying It's behind Esteban Ocon on board with Hülkenberg who's skating through the final corners What a performance they are putting on for us on the streets of Las Vegas. Piastri is making his way through left-hand side of

your screen. Driver currently in ninth position. Gasly's in 11th. Colopinto is in 15th. Three drivers out already. Ostrol, Ocon and Behrmann. Yellow flag is out on track. Oscar Piastri continues on and remains in ninth position. George Russell's finding time out there to go fastest once again. Juan Williams in the barrier earlier on, the other one now P2. Second place for Isaac Hajar, extracting the best from that Racing Bulls entry and now Gasly. How brave does the Frenchman feel? Into Turn 14, rotates the Alpi.

Little correction now, wants to get early on the throttle. Dancing it between the walls as he tries to take it up through the gears. And he dreams of taking the car into the Top 10 Shootout. Gasly versus Hülkenberg. Gasly gets there with a seventh fastest time. Piastri made it through in 10th position.

Gasly back-to-back races in the top 10 shootout, George Russell fastest and Hülkenberg, Stroll, Ocon, Behrmann and Colopinto the 5-4. Piastri is improving on his benchmark, but Norris has put together a flying lap when it matters most. Remember, any trip into the barriers now and it would be pole position for Lando Norris.

He hits the front of the field, two minutes to go. So he's well positioned in terms of the time to be last car on the circuit. It'll be about 30 seconds. Piastri might be the last car on track. Let's see if he's gonna cross the line here with 1 minute 50 still in hand. I don't mean he gets two more flying laps, and I think he will do that fairly nicely.

So Piastri with a great bit of track position if he can now complete a flying lap. Oh, he's backing off! Switching from the wet to the inter appears to have taken the ultimate pace away from the Mercedes-Manne, who is round the final corner and he improves to 7th position. Sainz is on a better lap as well. Max Verstappen leaving nothing out there as he made his way through.

Yeah, there is just a whole bunch of greens and then Russell has gone purple in that first sector. So it's all going to be the final lap.

Verstappen is on his final lap right now. Will Piastri get across the line? It's gonna be nip and tuck. I think he will by two seconds in the end. Piastri is gonna sneak through for one more lap and it's a McLaren shootout. Can anyone get ahead of them for the moment? Checkered flag is out. Liam Lawson P3. Max Verstappen in fourth. Sainz in fifth. Sainz to the front of the field! Williams haven't had a pole position since 2014. Carlos Sainz held it for all of a few seconds.

The world champion strikes back and takes provisional pole by three hundredths of a second. Russell going very quickly and with a handy slipstream of Pierre Gasly ahead. Norris has the fastest first sector, but he's got two cars ahead of him provisionally. Norris is four tenths up on Piastri, who's actually on a similar first sector to the two ahead, Verstappen and Sainz.

Norris is knocking this out of the park with this lap so far. Norris trying to save his best until last. Russell squirming all over the road, trying to improve. George Russell currently in ninth position, coming across the line in P4. Lando Norris, crucial braking zone ahead of the championship leader.

Speed disappears, clip the apex, then will bounce over the kerb. Waiting, waiting, waiting, and nearly dropping it into the wall, but getting away with it. Did he have enough time to play with his old teammate and his rival for the title ahead, Lando Norris across the line and he's done it again. Another pole position when it matters for Lando Norris, who's at the front receiving the team applause.

And it's a 1.47.9, three tenths of a second ahead of Verstappen that has taken Norris back to the front of the field. Oscar Piastri in fifth place on our timing page. Yeah, and he's not on a lap now. He's backed off, it all made a mistake in the middle sector. So Piastri had the perfect track position, but made a mistake at the end and he's only fifth. This was Charles Leclerc who will start ninth for Ferrari. That's the reason for the yellow. And that is a fight over track position between Oscar Piastri and one of the racing bulls. Alain O'Nouris will start his 150th Formula One Grand Prix from the front and he is on a hot streak at a

crucial moment for his Formula One Grand Prix from the front and he is on a hot streak at a crucial moment crucial moment for his Formula One Grand Prix from the front and he is on a hot streak at a crucial moment for his Formula One career.
