Welcome to the Late Breaking F1 Podcast presented by Sam Sage and me, Ben Hawking.
Las Vegas Qualifying is in the books,
the first wet weather qualifying in over a year and oh boy, did it deliver.
Lando Norris on pole position, joining him on the front row of the grid will be Max Verstappen,
a very exciting front row for tomorrow, but a bit more about today, I enjoyed that quite a lot.
You have given so much enthusiasm for this time in the morning.
I respect your levels of energy right now Yeah,
that was worth getting up for what a session we got to see finally a wet weather quality the first
since Brazil 2024 It's been a while and it delivered.
We had cars sliding off the track I think they had themselves brilliantly well the way that they were dealing with Conditions that looked so so difficult on a street circuit with poor drainage It really was a thrill in every session.
So thank you Vegas.
You've delivered again Thank you, Vegas.
Indeed.
Plenty to get to on today's qualifying review.
We had a Mercedes, a Red Bull and a Ferrari all out in Q1.
A dubious decision to go on intermediate tires in Q2 and then all the action from Q3 where everyone was on the intermediate tires and it was Lando Norris.
So the story of the championship over the last few rounds has been everything's coming up Norris that very much continued even with a poor final sector where he made a notable error still managing to get three temps on the rest of the field including Max Verstappen in P2.
