F1 Las Vegas GP live: practice updates, schedule, stream and qualifying start times

The matter was investigated, I believe it was a false alarm – no loose manhole cover was found.

They’ll be back in two minutes, only six minutes left…

FIA statement: “Following Marshall’s report of a possible loose manhole cover before Turn 17, Race Control was unable to confirm this information from the available CCTV. The session has been red flagged as a precautionary measure and Race Control personnel are currently assessing the situation.”

There are a lot of people and vans around the potential hole at Turn 17. There are less than 15 minutes left in the session…

Honestly not sure why the stop here, but it comes so soon after Leclerc almost hits the wall after locking out!

All drivers are now on track as they have regained their confidence on the medium tyre.

Lando Norris is now on top, with Russell in second and Verstappen in third.

Due to the drying of the track, most of the field is now out of track.

Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari is fastest in the first 10 minutes….

Given the weather, there’s no rush to get out of the pit-lane in Vegas as second practice begins!

There will be a light drizzle in Sin City as we prepare for our second practice under the lights.

A more representative, better session, heading into qualifying tomorrow. What will this tell us?

Norris – who has been one of the sport’s most popular drivers for many years – was insulted by fans In the grandstands of Mexico City and São Paulo.
