Las Vegas Grand Prix Highlights F1's Challenges

This weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix is set to spotlight Max Verstappen, who can clinch his fourth consecutive Formula 1 world championship by finishing ahead of Lando Norris. Verstappen enters the race with a 62-point lead over Norris, who needs a strong performance to keep the championship race alive. New Zealand driver Liam Lawson, an underdog in the spotlight, is eager to make an impact despite being new to the Vegas circuit and has shown promise with points finishes in recent races. Meanwhile, former F1 driver Karun Chandhok suggests moving the race to summer to enhance attendance and atmosphere, as November nights in the desert can be quite chilly. Amid the racing excitement, the FIA's leadership changes raise concerns about stability and governance within the sport, particularly after the recent departure of race director Niels Wittich. As the season nears its conclusion, the dynamics between the FIA, teams, and drivers remain a key narrative alongside the championship battle.
