Lewis Hamilton Leads All-British Top Three in Las Vegas

Lewis Hamilton showcased a remarkable recovery at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, leading both practice sessions just two weeks after a disappointing 10th place finish in Brazil. Despite expressing doubts about his future with Mercedes following the Brazil race, Hamilton outpaced teammate George Russell and McLaren's Lando Norris, marking a strong return to form. Hamilton's times indicated that Mercedes had found competitive pace in the cooler desert conditions, while Max Verstappen struggled, finishing 17th in both sessions. With Hamilton set to join Ferrari next season, he emphasized his determination to end his tenure with Mercedes on a high note. The practice sessions ran smoothly, contrasting with the previous year's disruptions, and teams are gearing up for the upcoming qualifying and race events. Hamilton's performance raises hopes for a late-season surge as he prepares for a significant career transition.
