A slightly tidier attempt from Norris, but he's 0.456s off Leclerc's best. Piastri, running a slightly different aero package, has also put a lap in on the soft tyres and is 0.658s off. #F1 #LasVegasGP

Watched an old presser with Josh Earnest a few days back and the difference is stark. Makes the loathsome Leavitt look like a parody.

Wolff is no doubt capitalising on the current value of Mercedes, but for Kurtz, it's a very lucrative investment because they are one of the few profitable teams on the grid. 2025 profits were £120 million, nearly a 50% increase on the £83.8 million in 2023. #F1

Verstappen offers his very insightful response: "If it rains, the tarmac is wet."

Adds: "I prefer to just have a dry race. It's already hard enough to get everything working here. But if the track floods, maybe less practice, it's also not a bad thing." #F1 #LasVegasGP

Pirelli statement: "This measure has been deemed necessary, following analysis of the tyres used in 2024. Last year, several tyres, particularly the left front, had reached the maximum wear level. Combined with the high lateral energy had increased the structural fatigue of the construction." #F1

The ability for drivers to change their career numbers in F1 was also agreed. Currently the regulations only allow for the reigning world champion to switch to number one. #F1

The topic of mandating two pit stops in races was also discussed, but no outcome reached. Changes to the Aerodynamic Testing Restrictions will also be implemented to "bring Formula 1 into line with contemporary processing and simulation technology." #F1

It has been recent for Norris, but correct that Verstappen had his fair share along with Hamilton and Vettel. I'd say the only time booing was ever warranted was the 2005 US GP and the end of the 2002 Austrian GP.

This has become a trend in the last couple of races. In Mexico, it was in response to McLaren swapping the cars in Monza after a slow pit stop for Norris. #F1
