Lewis Hamilton Tops Practice Sessions in Las Vegas

Lewis Hamilton led both practice sessions for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, clocking the fastest lap of 1:33.825s in FP2, just ahead of Lando Norris and George Russell. Hamilton, recovering from a poor performance in Brazil, expressed satisfaction with his car's handling but acknowledged the need to improve race pace. He is preparing for his final three races with Mercedes before moving to Ferrari next season. Despite previous struggles, Hamilton's performance has silenced critics who doubted his abilities. Other notable finishes included Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc from Ferrari in fourth and fifth, while Max Verstappen struggled, finishing 17th in FP2. The team dynamics and performance of Mercedes suggest they may be strong contenders for qualifying and the race ahead.
