It's all Lewis Hamilton show
The Las Vegas Grand prix is a narrow street circuit which is having heavy braking corners and some twisty turns. During Qualifying Williams Driver Franco Colapinto suffered a heavy 50G crash after misjudging Turn 16 which is a S turn.
Overtaking here in Las Vegas is the most dangerous thing to do as you need to be perfect in your calculations before any attempt. But for an experience like Lewis Hamilton, evading these kinds of dangerous turns and corners is more of a natural ability. He was flying throughout the race and finally ended up in second position.
The Mercedes driver was top of his game when he had the right machine to fight. And this weekend in Vegas looked like the Mercedes gave him the car which was perfect for him. He started moving places in each lap and finally went to catch George Russell.
At last Mercedes garage breathed some fresh air after all the downfalls they faced throughout the 2024 season. They are still Fourth in the constructors championship. But there are still two races left in the season and Mercedes will keep on pushing for the points.
