Last year, the British team did not succeed on this track, and the double was completed by Mercedes.
In the first practice, Ferrari and Red Bull unexpectedly took the lead. Charles Leclerc showed the best time, Alex Albon was second on Williams, and Yuki Tsunoda and Max Verstappen rounded out the top 4. And the Japanese was taller than his partner in Red Bull.
In the second practice, which was interrupted twice by red flags at the end due to Leclerc’s U-turn and problems with the track, the best result remained with Lando Norris, while his partner and rival in the battle for the title Oscar Piastre was only 14th.
The top 3 were closed by Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Charles Leclerc.
In general, not much is clear yet about the balance of forces, and the teams and pilots are getting used to the unusual conditions of the track in Vegas.
