The Las Vegas GP classification Formula 1 left the world cup almost doomed, but still open after a qualy in which Russel took the pole, with Carlos Sainz second and Max Verstappen ahead of Norris. With the world championship almost in the hands of the Dutch driver and with a Lando on his heels, both drivers showed their anger and nervousness at the end of a classification in which Colapinto had a serious accident.
Max Verstappen, leader of the World Championship, only needs to equal or even lose two points compared to Lando Norris to be crowned world champion For the fourth time, he will start fifth, one position ahead of Norris. The Dutchman, although he is close to winning the World Cup again, was not satisfied with the classification.
When it finished, Max showed his discontent and anger while looking at the final classification screen. “My main rival is behind, but we want to be better than fifth,” He assured in statements to DAZN in reference to the British pilot. “The car has been very difficult to drive and I think it is related to the tires, which are very difficult for them to work on one lap,” he continued.
For his part, Norris, with teary eyes and almost unable to articulate words after qualifying, was very disappointed with the result. “We are not very fast, so I don’t expect too much. We are the car that abuses its tires the most and maybe the hard ones will save us a little more,” commented the English driver.
