A nighttime wet qualifying session! And they’re actually using the Pirelli wets.

A wet street circuit under the lights. This is such a freaking spectacle! It’s so treacherous out there.

P1 Norris
P2 Verstappen
P5 Piastri

Piastri had a strange run-in with a Racing Bull on his final lap but Norris was well clear of everyone anyways. Lando is destroying his teammate in every way right now.

Quali on full wets at Las Vegas of all places is completely nuts. That session was wild

I would've put my money on Piastri earlier this year but Norris has really got his act together. Didn't expect that to happen but am happy for him.

 

[Reagan]

That was probably the most iconic pole of this season!

Was this the first time wet tires were used with this generation of cars in a session that actually counted?

No way the race would go ahead in such conditions though, unfortunately.

Hopefully next year's cars will be better.

I think the guy to watch tonight is going to be Kimi.

The past five or six races made me forget Lando is one of the worst starters of all time.

This race is making me forget how good the last two Vegas races were.

When Piastri hasn’t been crashing into things during this stretch run he’s just been downright useless. Couldn’t get past Antonelli with twenty-lap fresher tires to try to chase down the ailing Russell for the final podium spot. Honestly one of the biggest championship collapses anywhere ever.

Easily the least dramatic of the three and also felt like it had the least amount of hype and buildup despite having a closer title battle than the previous two.

Yeah, I've read where this race has pissed Las Vegas locals off more than the last two, because there's no hype, the casinos are dead zones, and the inconvenience dramatically outweighed the benefits.

Seems like these spectacles have a shelf life of three years.

To be fair, regarding hype, Las Vegas has been hit hard this year with the economy the way it is and foreign tourists no longer coming to the United States.
