The Formula 1 season heads to one of its most spectacular venues as the championship arrives at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, a night race run beneath the lights of the famous Las Vegas Strip.
While both world championships have already been settled by Kimi Antonelli and Mercedes, there is still plenty to fight for in the final three races of the season.

CHAMPIONSHIP SITUATION
The drivers' title has already been secured by Kimi Antonelli, who arrives in Las Vegas with 390 points after a remarkable breakthrough campaign for Mercedes. Max Verstappen sits second, while George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris remain locked in a fierce battle for the remaining top positions.
Just 16 points separate third from sixth, meaning every position matters in the closing weeks.
STORYLINES TO WATCH
Can Antonelli add another Las Vegas triumph?
The championship may already be won, but Kimi Antonelli continues to rewrite the record books. The young Italian has nine victories this season and arrives with momentum as he seeks to cap a historic year with another high-profile win.
Ferrari versus Mercedes
The battle between Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and George Russell remains one of the major talking points. Ferrari's straight-line speed could make them particularly dangerous on a circuit dominated by long acceleration zones.
Verstappen's Vegas record
The fast, low-downforce nature of the circuit traditionally suits aggressive drivers. Max Verstappen remains one of the strongest racers under the lights and will be targeting another victory before the season concludes.
McLaren looking for a response
After recent successes, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will be keen to translate their race pace into a stronger weekend on a circuit where qualifying and overtaking opportunities are equally important.
MIDFIELD FIGHT INTENSIFIES
The battles involving Isack Hadjar, Liam Lawson, Pierre Gasly, Franco Colapinto and the Haas drivers remain crucial as teams chase valuable championship prize money.
TECHNICAL CHALLENGE
The Vegas layout presents a unique engineering puzzle:
Teams typically trim downforce levels to maximize speed on the enormous straights.
Heavy braking zones place enormous stress on brake systems.
The desert climate creates significant temperature swings from day to night.
Tyre warm-up is often difficult because track temperatures are much cooler than at most venues.
DRIVERS TO WATCH
Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) - Already crowned world champion, but still chasing a tenth victory of the season.
George Russell (Mercedes) - Locked in a fierce fight for second place in the standings and a strong performer on street circuits.
Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) - Ferrari's pace on long straights could put the seven-time world champion firmly in contention.
Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) - Always a threat in low-grip conditions and on circuits that reward confidence under braking.
Lando Norris (McLaren) - Fresh from strong recent performances and looking to close the gap to Ferrari ahead of the season finale.
